PM / devfreq: passive: Keep cpufreq_policy for possible cpus

The passive governor requires the cpu data to get the next target frequency
of devfreq device if depending on cpu. In order to reduce the unnecessary
memory data, keep cpufreq_policy data for possible cpus instead of NR_CPU.

PM / devfreq: Add cpu based scaling support to passive governor

Many CPU architectures have caches that can scale independent of the
CPUs. Frequency scaling of the caches is necessary to make sure that the
cache is not a performance bottleneck that leads to poor performance and
power. The same idea applies for RAM/DDR.

To achieve this, this patch adds support for cpu based scaling to the
passive governor. This is accomplished by taking the current frequency
of each CPU frequency domain and then adjust the frequency of the cache
(or any devfreq device) based on the frequency of the CPUs. It listens
to CPU frequency transition notifiers to keep itself up to date on the
current CPU frequency.

To decide the frequency of the device, the governor does one of the
following:
* Derives the optimal devfreq device opp from required-opps property of
the parent cpu opp_table.

* Scales the device frequency in proportion to the CPU frequency. So, if
the CPUs are running at their max frequency, the device runs at its
max frequency. If the CPUs are running at their min frequency, the
device runs at its min frequency. It is interpolated for frequencies
in between.

PM / devfreq: Add governor attribute flag for specifc sysfs nodes

DEVFREQ supports the default governors like performance, simple_ondemand and
also allows the devfreq driver to add their own governor like tegra30-devfreq.c
according to their requirement. In result, some sysfs attributes are useful
or not useful. Prior to that the user can access all sysfs attributes
regardless of the available attributes.

So, clarify the access permission of sysfs attributes according to governor.
When adding the devfreq governor, can specify the available attribute
information by using DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_* constant variable. The user can
read or write the sysfs attributes in accordance to the specified attributes.

When adding the governor, can add the following attributes
according to the governor feature.

[Definition for speific sysfs attributes]
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_POLLING_INTERVAL to update polling interval for timer.
: /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/polling_interval
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_TIMER to change the type of timer on either deferrable
or dealyed timer.
: /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/timer

And all devfreq governors have to support the following common attributes.
The common attributes are added to devfreq class by default.
- governor
- available_governors
- available_frequencies
- cur_freq
- target_freq
- min_freq
- max_freq
- trans_stat

PM / devfreq: Add governor feature flag

The devfreq governor is able to have the specific flag as follows
in order to implement the specific feature. For example, devfreq allows
user to change the governors on runtime via sysfs interface.
But, if devfreq device uses 'passive' governor, don't allow user to change
the governor. For this case, define the DEVFREQ_GOV_FLAG_IMMUTABLE
and set it to flag of passive governor.

[Definition for governor flag]
- DEVFREQ_GOV_FLAG_IMMUTABLE
: If immutable flag is set, governor is never changeable to other governors.
- DEVFREQ_GOV_FLAG_IRQ_DRIVEN
: Devfreq core won't schedule polling work for this governor if value is set.

PM / devfreq: Add new interrupt_driven flag for governors

Currently interrupt-driven governors (like NVIDIA Tegra30 ACTMON governor)
are used to set polling_ms=0 in order to avoid periodic polling of device
status by devfreq core. This means that polling interval can't be changed
by userspace for such governors.

The new governor flag allows interrupt-driven governors to convey that
devfreq core shouldn't perform polling of device status and thus generic
devfreq polling interval could be supported by these governors now.

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.

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.
