Is that an idea it supposed to be or fact ?

if (!cpufreq_suspended)
cpufreq_policy_free(policy);

static void cpufreq_policy_free(struct cpufreq_policy *policy)
{
free_cpumask_var(policy->related_cpus);
free_cpumask_var(policy->cpus);
kfree(policy);
}

It seems you just think about it ideally in mind.

Thanks,
Ethan
