Here's a nice Christmas present one of my iMX6 machines gave me tonight.
I haven't begun to look into it.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

rc.local/770 is trying to acquire lock:
 (cooling_cpufreq_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c04abfc4>] cpufreq_thermal_notifier+0x34/0xfc

but task is already holding lock:
 ((cpufreq_policy_notifier_list).rwsem){++++.+}, at: [<c0042f04>]  __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x34/0x68

which lock already depends on the new lock.

Well, that's for Viresh.

Also adding Eduardo as he's been working with Viresh on the cooling stuff recently.
