From: Leo Yan leo.yan@linaro.org
[ Upstream commit 0f87855d969a87f02048ff5ced7503465d5ab2f1 ]
If cpuidle init fails, the code misses to unregister the driver for current CPU. Furthermore, we also need to rollback to cancel all previous CPUs registration; but the code retrieves driver handler by using function cpuidle_get_driver(), this function returns back current CPU driver handler but not previous CPU's handler, which leads to the failure handling code cannot unregister previous CPUs driver.
This commit fixes two mentioned issues, it adds error handling path 'goto out_unregister_drv' for current CPU driver unregistration; and it is to replace cpuidle_get_driver() with cpuidle_get_cpu_driver(), the later function can retrieve driver handler for previous CPUs according to the CPU device handler so can unregister the driver properly.
This patch also adds extra error handling paths 'goto out_kfree_dev' and 'goto out_kfree_drv' and adjusts the freeing sentences for previous CPUs; so make the code more readable for freeing 'dev' and 'drv' structures.
