opp: Reinitialize the list_kref before adding the static OPPs again

The list_kref reaches a count of 0 when all the static OPPs are removed,
for example when dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_remove_table() is called, though
the actual OPP table may not get freed as it may still be referenced by
other parts of the kernel, like from a call to
dev_pm_opp_set_supported_hw(). And if we call
dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_add_table() again at this point, we must
reinitialize the list_kref otherwise the kernel will hit a WARN() in
kref infrastructure for incrementing a kref with value 0.

Fixes: 11e1a1648298 ("opp: Don't decrement uninitialized list_kref")

I don't see the warning anymore, cpufreq-dt module reloading works fine
now. Thank you very much!

It seems racy. Why are we doing this vs. making an entirely new and
different OPP structure? Or why is the count reaching 0 when something
is obviously still referencing it?

I am not sure if I see a race here, but maybe I am missing something.
Care to explain ?

The kref for the opp table is opp_table->kref and the one here is
different. This is list_kref which is used for freeing OPPs added
statically from the DT. The static OPPs get added to the OPP table
when one calls dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_add_table() and must be removed
on a call to dev_pm_opp_of_cpumask_remove_table(). The opp table
structure may not get freed at this moment though as it is still
referenced by the caller of dev_pm_opp_set_supported_hw().

And now when we try to add the static OPPs again (re-insertion of
cpufreq module), we need to reinitialize the list_kref again as its
count reached 0 earlier and the resources (static OPPs) were freed.

Some static OPP is removed at the same time that this function is
called?

Right. I don't understand why the count reaches 0 if we can still get a
pointer to something. I guess we've got this kref thing that has a
lifetime beyond the life of what it's tracking, which is weird. Usually
the kref is embedded inside the pointer that is returned by the "get"
call, but here it's outside it and used to track when we should free
static OPPs. Why are we removing static OPPs? Shouldn't they just stick
around forever until the device is deleted vs. populated over and over
again?

Hmm, not just this line but yeah this can be racy in principle though
not in practice.
As both addition and removal of the static OPPs happen from the same
driver, like
during cpufreq registration and unregistration.

Something is weird here for sure as the kref is not protecting a
specific object here.
Maybe we should use a simple counter protected with opp-table lock here.

Because the only use of the static OPPs is gone and so freeing them is the
right thing to do. Also, it is possible in principle to change the supported-hw
values after removing the cpufreq driver and adding it back, which means
it is possible to get a new set of OPPs.

I was using kref as I wanted to call the cleanup routine when kref
reaches 0. A refcount_t will have the same problem as the warning in
this came from refcount mechanism only (which is used by kref). You
can't increment a refcount_t if it is zero :)

Any other suggestions other than local counting ?

i.e. something like this, untested.
