Since the commit 2a4eb7358aba ("OPP: Don't remove dynamic OPPs from
_dev_pm_opp_remove_table()"), dynamically created OPP aren't
automatically removed anymore by dev_pm_opp_cpumask_remove_table(). This
affects the scpi and scmi cpufreq drivers which no longer free OPPs on
failures or on invocations of the policy->exit() callback.
Create a generic OPP helper dev_pm_opp_remove_all_dynamic() which can be
called from these drivers instead of dev_pm_opp_cpumask_remove_table().
In dev_pm_opp_remove_all_dynamic(), we need to make sure that the
opp_list isn't getting accessed simultaneously from other parts of the
OPP core while the helper is freeing dynamic OPPs, i.e. we can't drop
the opp_table->lock while traversing through the OPP list. And to
accomplish that, this patch also creates _opp_kref_release_unlocked()
which can be called from this new helper with the opp_table lock already
held.I did test it but since I couldn't reproduce the original issue, my tested-by is not that worth. Anyways the changes look fine to me.
