If the new governor fails to start, switch back to old governor so that the
devfreq state is not left in some weird limbo.

Looks good to me.
But, how about using the 'prev_governor' instead of 'prev_gov'?
because the variable name of current governor is 'governor' instead of 'gov'.

it before I sent the patch. Will send v3.

I was trying to avoid wrapping lines too much. But this doesn't cause
