[PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: governor: Simplify gov_cancel_work() slightly

Show all headers | View raw

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The atomic work counter incrementation in gov_cancel_work() is not
necessary any more, because work items won't be queued up after
gov_clear_update_util() anyway, so drop it along with the comment
about how it may be missed by the gov_clear_update_util().
