If there is something really wrong, then register_driver will fail cleanly with EINVAL later. [ background: modprobe acpi-cpufreq on systems not capable of speed-scaling started failing with 'invalid argument', where previously it would only ever -ENODEV I'm not 100% happy with the solution. It'd be better to handle failure properly, but this is a low-impact change for 2.6.18 We can always revisit doing this better in .19 --davej.] Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Dave Jones Cc: Greg KH Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c b/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c index efb41e81351c..e6ea00edcb54 100644 --- a/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +++ b/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c @@ -567,16 +567,11 @@ static struct cpufreq_driver acpi_cpufreq_driver = { static int __init acpi_cpufreq_init (void) { - int result = 0; - dprintk("acpi_cpufreq_init\n"); - result = acpi_cpufreq_early_init_acpi(); + acpi_cpufreq_early_init_acpi(); - if (!result) - result = cpufreq_register_driver(&acpi_cpufreq_driver); - - return (result); + return cpufreq_register_driver(&acpi_cpufreq_driver); }
