What about this changelog: Subject: [PATCH 08/10] cpufreq: Fix broken usage of governor->owner's refcount Governor's owner refcount usage was broken. We should increment refcount only when CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_INIT event has come and should decrement only if CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT has come. Currently there can be situations where governor is in use but we have allowed it to be unloaded. And that may cause in undefined behavior. Lets fix it.
