After cpufreq_driver_lock() is acquired in cpufreq_cpu_get() we are sure we can't race with cpufreq_policy_free() (which is in the path that ends up removing cpufreq_driver). We can thus safely remove check for cpufreq_driver being present (which is a leftover from commit 6eed9404ab3c ("cpufreq: Use rwsem for protecting critical sections")). Cc: "Rafael J.
