Test code without cpumask_clear.
+ cpumask_set_cpu(0, &mask_val);
+ cpulist_scnprintf(buf, 64, &mask_val);
+ printk("--ID [ %d] = %s \n", id, buf);
+ th_zone->cool_dev[id] = cpufreq_cooling_register(&mask_val);
Console message-> 4.861157] [c6] --ID [ 1] = 0,4-5,7 (4,5,7 cpu bit was set.)
And when I tried to register two cooling devices with cpumask_set_cpu(0, &mask_val) and cpumask_set_cpu(4, &mask_val).
I found that cpu 0 bit is also set in latter cpumask. (I hope latter cpumask has a cpu 4 bit.)
So I think that cpumask_clear should be inserted.
Thanks.
