Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: report driver's successful {un}registration

We do report driver's successful {un}registration from cpufreq core, but is done
with pr_debug() and so this doesn't appear in boot logs.

Convert this to pr_info() to make it visible in logs.

While at it, let's also standardize those messages, since they will be
more visible now.

How about "Registered cpufreq driver: %s\n"

And "Unregistered cpufreq driver: %s\n"

(Also, its probably a good idea to have 2 prints here, just like we have for
cpufreq_register_driver() - one with pr_debug() at the beginning of the
function which tells us that we are *about* to register the driver, and then
a second print with pr_info() at the end of the function that tells us that
we successfully registered the driver. We can do the same thing for
unregistration as well.)

So that it appears in boot logs and we know cpufreq registered properly.

So flip that logic: Don't say anything in the success case and issue an
error only when it failed. Like the rest of the code does it.

The problem with that is: CPUFreq may not be compiled in at all and
we wouldn't know the difference between success and absence.

And so tried to add a print, like any other driver would do.

Of course you would: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/

Yeah, with a local board its easily detectable.

But I faced the issue when I had to see some test reports from
the automated stuff and wanted to see if cpufreq is up and running.

Sorry, this is a very specialized usage to enforce meaningless spew in
dmesg on *everybody*. Fix your tests instead.
