Hi Alexey,

Thanks for your patch!

I originally made the failure non-fatal because the system still boots
without the notifiers registered (and all other Arm64 Exynos SoCs
upstream don't register notifiers and AFAICT have broken cpu hotplug
and cpu idle).

In hindsight, that seems like a mistake. I think your patch to fully
unwind everything in case of failure makes more sense.  See small
comment below about destroy_cpuhp_and_cpuidle()

You only want to do this if pmu_cpuhp == true, as currently only gs101
registers the notifiers.
