I can see that this driver calls explicitly the of_cpufreq_cooling_register() It does this in the cpufreq_driver->ready() callback implementation: ve_spc_cpufreq_ready() With that in mind, the new code in the patch 1/8, which registers the EM, should be called even earlier, above: ---------------------8<--------------------------------- /* Callback for handling stuff after policy is ready */ if (cpufreq_driver->ready) cpufreq_driver->ready(policy); ------------------->8----------------------------------Thanks. I will look at this sequencing issue again.quoted
This also triggered a question: If this new flag can be set in the cpufreq driver which hasn't set CPUFREQ_IS_COOLING_DEV ?Why not ?
I thought someone could try to call cpufreq_cooling_register() from the cpufreq driver init function, but it's not possible. I have just checked that, so should be good with these two flags being independent and working fine.

I can only see one driver (this one in the patch) which has such configuration.
