commit9e4e249018upstream. Since acpi_processor_notify() can be called before registering a cpufreq driver or even in cases when a cpufreq driver is not registered at all, cpufreq_update_limits() needs to check if a cpufreq driver is present and prevent it from being unregistered. For this purpose, make it call cpufreq_cpu_get() to obtain a cpufreq policy pointer for the given CPU and reference count the corresponding policy object, if present.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
