PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifiers must be called in groups, i.e either both
should be called or both shouldn't be.

In case we have started PRECHANGE notifier and found an error, we must call
POSTCHANGE notifier with freqs.new = freqs.old to guarantee that sequence of
calling notifiers is complete.

This driver was taking care of it but frequency isn't restored to freqs.old.

This patch fixes it.

I have no objections to this change but at the same time I don't
feel that I know the code well enough to review it.

Probably I made a mistake adding your name. Don't know how I
made up my mind that you are the main contributor for this.

Probably Dave is?
