From 7ab47050453c10da13940114dea9c7f1c6ad323f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balaji Rao Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2008 00:52:40 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: fix kobject reference count handling The cpufreq core should not take an extra kobject reference count for no reason, and then refuse to release it. This has been reported as keeping machines from properly powering down all the way.
