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: Change to DEVFREQ_GOV_UPDATE_INTERVAL event name

DEVFREQ_GOV_INTERVAL event indicates that update the interval
for polling mode of devfreq device. But, this event name doesn't
specify exactly what to do.

Change DEVFREQ_GOV_INTERVAL event name to DEVFREQ_GOV_UPDATE_INTERVAL
which specifies what to do by event name.

And modify the function name to DEVFREQ_GOV_UPDATE_INTERVAL
with 'devfreq_' prefix + verb + object as following:
- devfreq_interval_update -> devfreq_updatee_interval

PM / devfreq: Don't adjust to user limits in governors

Several governors use the user space limits df->min/max_freq to adjust
the target frequency. This is not necessary, since update_devfreq()
already takes care of this. Instead the governor can request the available
min/max frequency by setting the target frequency to DEVFREQ_MIN/MAX_FREQ
and let update_devfreq() take care of any adjustments.

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.

PM / devfreq: map devfreq drivers to governor using name

Allow devfreq drivers to register a preferred governor name
and when the devfreq governor loads itself at a later point
required drivers are managed appropriately, at the time of
unload of a devfreq governor, stop managing those drivers
as well.

Since the governor structures do not need to be exposed
anymore, remove the definitions and make them static

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.

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 / 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.
