CPUFreq core does following at multiple places: module_{get|put}(cpufreq_driver->owner)).

This is done to make sure module doesn't get unloaded if it is currently in use. This will work only if the .owner field of cpufreq driver is initialized with a valid pointer.

This field wasn't initialized for many cpufreq driver, lets initialize it with THIS_MODULE.

You can drop this patchset now as .owner field is removed in the latest patchset from me which is posted today:
