I don't find a path in the different drivers where that could happen because the arch specific drivers are written in such way it is not possible to register a driver while it is unregistered, except maybe in a very improbable case when "intel_idle" and "processor_idle" are competing. One could unregister a driver, while the other one is registering. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Acked-by: Peter De Schrijver Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
