This was caused by an incomplete backport of b4b1ddc9dfe9 ("cpufreq:
Make cpufreq_driver::exit() return void"): 6.6 still has drivers
(nforce2, loongson2, ia64-acpi-cpufreq) whose int-returning exit()
callbacks were removed upstream by prerequisite commits that were
never queued.

Dropped the offending patch from the 6.6 queue along with its
dependencies:
  - "cpufreq: pcc: Remove empty exit() callback"
  - "cpufreq: qcom-cpufreq-hw: Fix possible double free" (will be
    requeued separately as a context-adjusted backport)

Thanks for the report.
