It appears that your mali device driver's suspend/resume routines are accessing "struct devfreq_dev_status" directly. Is this correct? Plus, for MALI (if that assumption is correct), this issue might occur with other governors. If so, would it be better to put the first initializing call of devfreq_update_stats() at devfreq_add_device()? Cheers, MyungJoo ps. Where can I look at the mali-devfreq device driver? (I couldn't find it)
hi Ham, Thanks for your reply.

Hi Ham, oops, sorry, it turns out the devfreq would already tried to handle this case(by using profile's initial_freq): 8d39fc0 PM / devfreq: fix initialization of current frequency in last status and my local kernel didn't contains this commit. so this patch is not needed, please ignore it.

If governor suspends soon after started, it may not have the chance to update devfreq stats, which leaves devfreq stats' current frequence be zero. So when the thermal core tries to throttle the power, it would failed to get the correct static power of current frequence and print these warnings: [ 2.024735] core: dev_pm_opp_get_voltage: Invalid parameters [ 2.024743] mali ff9a0000.gpu: Failed to get voltage for frequency 0: -34 ... [ 2.026320] core: dev_pm_opp_get_voltage: Invalid parameters [ 2.026327] mali ff9a0000.gpu: Failed to get voltage for frequency 0: -34 Update devfreq stats when governor started to avoid that.
