On a devfreq PROBE_DEFER, the freq_table in the driver profile struct,
is never reset and may be leaved in an undefined state.
This comes from the fact that we store the freq_table in the driver
profile struct that is commonly defined as static and not reset on
PROBE_DEFER.
We currently skip the reinit of the freq_table if we found
it's already defined since a driver may declare his own freq_table.
This logic is flawed in the case devfreq core generate a freq_table, set
it in the profile struct and then PROBE_DEFER, freeing the freq_table.
In this case devfreq will found a NOT NULL freq_table that has been
freed, skip the freq_table generation and probe the driver based on the
wrong table.
To fix this and correctly handle PROBE_DEFER, use a local freq_table and
max_state in the devfreq struct and never modify the freq_table present
in the profile struct if it does provide it.

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.
