Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Detect spurious invocations of update_policy_cpu()
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:29:09 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130912115710.25951.98497.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> (raw)

The function update_policy_cpu() is expected to be called when the policy->cpu
of a cpufreq policy is to be changed: ie., the new CPU nominated to become the
policy->cpu is different from the old one.

Print a warning if it is invoked with new_cpu == old_cpu, since such an
invocation might hint at a faulty logic in the caller.
