Ideally the de-allocation of resources should happen in the exact opposite order in which they were allocated. It helps maintain the code in long term, even if nothing really breaks with incorrect ordering. The same wasn't followed in cpufreq_online() and it has some inconsistencies. For example, the symlinks were created from within the locked region while they are removed only after putting the locks. Also ->exit() should have been called only after the symlinks are removed and the lock is dropped, as that was the case when ->init() was first called.
