But IMHO also, once the parsing of the capacity-dmips-mhz property is done. free cpus_to_visit is only used in the notifier call init_cpu_capacity_callback() after being allocated and initialized in register_cpufreq_notifier(). We could add something like this as the first patch of this set. Only mildly tested on Juno. Juri, what do you think?

IMHO, that's not necessary. The transition notifier works completely independent from the policy notifier. In case the latter gets registered correctly and the registration of the former fails, the notifier call of the policy notifier still parses the capacity-dmips-mhz property information and sets per_cpu(max_freq, cpu). The notifier call set_freq_scale_callback() of the transition notifier will not be called so that frequency invariance always returns SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE. After the policy notifier has finished its work, it schedules parsing_done_work() in which it gets unregistered. [...]
