Subject[PATCH] cpuidle: fix number of initialized/destroyed states
Date
Commit bf4d1b5ddb78f86078ac6ae0415802d5f0c68f92 (cpuidle: support
multiple drivers) changed the number of initialized state kobjects
in cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() from device->state_count to drv->state_count,
but leaved device->state_count in cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs().
Those two values might have different values, causing for instance
NULL pointer dereference in cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs().

Hi,

commit bf4d1b5ddb78f86078ac6ae0415802d5f0c68f92
(cpuidle: support multiple drivers, merged in v3.8-rc1) causes NULL pointer
dereference in cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs() when I plug the AC line to my
laptop. I'm using the acpi_idle cpuidle driver and the C4 state is
available only on when the system runs from battery. The problem still
exists in v3.8-rc2 and f243b9b46a22e5790dbbc36f574c2417af49a41.

I noticed that the commit bf4d1b5ddb78f86078ac6ae0415802d5f0c68f92
(merged in v3.8-rc1) changed device->state_count to drv->state_count
in only one of two places, which seems to be incorrect. This patch restores
device->state_count in both places. It fixes the problem on my system.
