Replace the manual cpufreq_cpu_put() with __free(put_cpufreq_policy)
annotation for policy references. This reduces the risk of reference
counting mistakes and aligns the code with the latest kernel style.
No functional change intended.

Should I replace all the memory allocation cleanups here with `__free`? That would allow us to drop all the `goto`s, but since this function has quite a few of them, I’m concerned it might introduce new issues. What’s your recommendation?

What’s > your recommendation? Frankly, don't use __free() in this code at all, at least for the time being. There is a problem with dropping the reference to policy at the end of __dtpm_cpu_setup() because that policy may be subsequently indirectly used in set_pd_power_limit() which calls freq_qos_update_request(&dtpm_cpu->qos_req, freq) and dtpm_cpu->qos_req->qos is policy->constraints, so using it will cause policy->constraints to be dereferenced in freq_qos_apply() which will crash and burn if the policy goes away in the meantime. So AFAICS __dtpm_cpu_setup() shouldn't call cpufreq_cpu_put() at all and the policy should be released in pd_release() without acquiring a new reference to it. You may as well try to fix this if you have free cycles.

What’s > your recommendation? If you keep asking this, I have doubts you really know how to use cleanup.h. Don't blindly convert code to cleanup.h. It's very odd syntax and it is not even welcomed everywhere. Best regards, Krzysztof
