From 73c7f8246539da12c76bb731a2fe7389ae55eae8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Pavlu Date: Thu, 11 May 2023 14:53:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: ACPI: Prevent a warning when another frequency driver is loaded The recent change to use platform devices to load ACPI PPC and PCC drivers caused that a misleading warning is reported when a respective module cannot be loaded because another CPU frequency driver is already registered: kernel: acpi-cpufreq: probe of acpi-cpufreq failed with error -17 Address it by changing the return code in acpi-cpufreq and pcc-cpufreq for this case from -EEXIST to -ENODEV which silences the warning in call_driver_probe(). The change has also a benefit for users of init_module() as this return code is propagated out from the syscall. The previous -EEXIST code made the callers, such as kmod, wrongly believe that the module was already loaded instead of that it failed to load.
