Ideally the de-allocation of resources should happen in the exact opposite order in which they were allocated. It helps maintain the code in long term, even if nothing really breaks with incorrect ordering. That wasn't followed in cpufreq_online() and it has some inconsistencies. For example, the symlinks were created from within the locked region while they are removed only after putting the locks. Also ->exit() should have been called only after the symlinks are removed and the lock is dropped, as that was the case when ->init() was first called.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
