As far as I know, user or shell script has the right for using command online/offline cpu. Either user by console or shell script could make cpu2 online even cpu2 already onlined. That could cause of_cpufreq_cooling_register execute many times for the same cooling device. "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online" With above hotplug command, mtk_cpufreq_ready will register cooling device again as well, but fail since the cooling device already created, so we might need not register cooling device again on this case. > > I will remove it if you don't agree it. > > No, my agreeing or not doesn't matter.
