83f8ca45af PM / devfreq: add support for suspend/resume of a devfreq device
The patch prepares devfreq device for handling suspend/resume
functionality. The new fields will store needed information during this
process. Devfreq framework handles opp-suspend DT entry and there is no
need of modyfications in the drivers code. It uses atomic variables to
make sure no race condition affects the process.

aa7c352f98 PM / devfreq: Define the constant governor name
Prior to that, the devfreq device uses the governor name when adding
the itself. In order to prevent the mistake used the wrong governor name,
this patch defines the governor name as a constant and then uses them
instead of using the string directly.

416b46a262 PM / devfreq: Show the all available frequencies
The commit a76caf55e5 ("thermal: Add devfreq cooling") allows
the devfreq device to use the cooling device. When the cooling down
are required, the devfreq_cooling.c disables the OPP entry with
the dev_pm_opp_disable(). In result, 'available_frequencies'[1]
sysfs node never came to show the all available frequencies.
[1] /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_frequencies

So, this patch uses the 'freq_table' in the 'struct devfreq_dev_profile'
in order to show the all available frequencies.
- If 'freq_table' is NULL, devfreq core initializes them by using OPP values.
- If 'freq_table' is initialized, devfreq core just uses the 'freq_table'.

And this patch adds some comment about the sort way of 'freq_table'.

f1d981eaec PM / devfreq: Use the available min/max frequency
The commit a76caf55e5 ("thermal: Add devfreq cooling") is able
to disable OPP as a cooling device. In result, both update_devfreq()
and {min|max}_freq_show() have to consider the 'opp->available'
status of each OPP.

So, this patch adds the 'scaling_{min|max}_freq' to struct devfreq
in order to indicate the available mininum and maximum frequency
by adjusting OPP interface such as dev_pm_opp_{disable|enable}().
The 'scaling_{min|max}_freq' are used for on both update_devfreq()
and {min|max}_freq_show().

996133119f PM / devfreq: Add new passive governor
This patch adds the new passive governor for DEVFREQ framework. The following
governors are already present and used for DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency
Scaling) drivers. The following governors are independently used for one device
driver which don't give the influence to other device drviers and also don't
receive the effect from other device drivers.
- ondemand / performance / powersave / userspace

The passive governor depends on operation of parent driver with specific
governos extremely and is not able to decide the new frequency by oneself.
According to the decided new frequency of parent driver with governor,
the passive governor uses it to decide the appropriate frequency for own
device driver. The passive governor must need the following information
from device tree:
- the source clock and OPP tables
- the instance of parent device

For exameple,
there are one more devfreq device drivers which need to change their source
clock according to their utilization on runtime. But, they share the same
power line (e.g., regulator). So, specific device driver is operated as parent
with ondemand governor and then the rest device driver with passive governor
is influenced by parent device.

This patch initialize the freq_table array of each devfreq device by using
the devfreq_set_freq_table(). If freq_table is NULL, the devfreq framework
is not able to support the frequency transtion information through sysfs.

The OPP core uses the integer type for the number of opps in the opp list
and uses the 'unsigned long' type for each frequency. So, this patch
modifies the type of some variable as following:
- the type of freq_table : unsigned int -> unsigned long
- the type of max_state  : unsigned int -> int

Allow devfreq drivers to register a preferred governor name
and when the devfreq governor loads itself at a later point

Since the governor structures do not need to be exposed

NOTE: devfreq_list_lock is now used to protect governor
start and stop - as this allows us to protect governors and
devfreq with the proper dependencies as needed.

As part of this change, change the registration of exynos
bus driver to request for ondemand using the governor name.

7e6fdd4bad PM / devfreq: Core updates to support devices which can idle
Prepare devfreq core framework to support devices which
can idle. When device idleness is detected perhaps through
runtime-pm, need some mechanism to suspend devfreq load
monitoring and resume back when device is online. Present
code continues monitoring unless device is removed from
devfreq core.

This patch introduces following design changes,

 - use per device work instead of global work to monitor device
   load. This enables suspend/resume of device devfreq and
   reduces monitoring code complexity.
 - decouple delayed work based load monitoring logic from core
   by introducing helpers functions to be used by governors. This
   provides flexibility for governors either to use delayed work
   based monitoring functions or to implement their own mechanism.
 - devfreq core interacts with governors via events to perform
   specific actions. These events include start/stop devfreq.
   This sets ground for adding suspend/resume events.

The devfreq apis are not modified and are kept intact.

ab5f299f51 PM / devfreq: add relation of recommended frequency.
The semantics of "target frequency" given to devfreq driver from
devfreq framework has always been interpretted as "at least" or GLB
(greatest lower bound). However, the framework might want the
device driver to limit its max frequency (LUB: least upper bound),
especially if it is given by thermal framework (it's too hot).

Thus, the target fuction should have another parameter to express
whether the framework wants GLB or LUB. And, the additional parameter,
"u32 flags", does it.

With the update, devfreq_recommended_opp() is also updated.

ce26c5bb95 PM / devfreq: Add basic governors
Four cpufreq-like governors are provided as examples.

powersave: use the lowest frequency possible. The user (device) should
set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this governor.

performance: use the highest freqeuncy possible. The user (device)
should set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this
governor.

userspace: use the user specified frequency stored at
devfreq.user_set_freq. With sysfs support in the following patch, a user
may set the value with the sysfs interface.

simple_ondemand: simplified version of cpufreq's ondemand governor.

When a user updates OPP entries (enable/disable/add), OPP framework
automatically notifies devfreq to update operating frequency
accordingly. Thus, devfreq users (device drivers) do not need to update
devfreq manually with OPP entry updates or set polling_ms for powersave
, performance, userspace, or any other "static" governors.

Note that these are given only as basic examples for governors and any
devices with devfreq may implement their own governors with the drivers
and use them.

a3c98b8b2e PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with device-specific OPPs
With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage
sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system
will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power
consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the
performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)
scheme may be used.

This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs.
DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a
device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low
as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts
voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power
consumption and heat dissipation.

The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with
/drivers/cpufreq.  However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple
devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous
devices with different (but simple) governors.

Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for
the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency.
devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency
recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage
based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to
device driver's "target" callback.

When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device
driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS
requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and
opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's
update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least
one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a
transition.
