Sure, I can do this if you think it is reasonable to merge all these
patches without the throttler.

These are the patches we are talking about and my interpretation of
their status:

[01] PM / devfreq: Init user limits from OPP limits, not viceversa
landed in Rafaels tree

[02] PM / devfreq: Fix handling of min/max_freq == 0
independent fix, can land

[03] PM / devfreq: Don't adjust to user limits in governors
independent improvement, can land

[04] PM / devfreq: Add struct devfreq_policy
edge case, can land if devfreq maintainers think that factoring out
some fields to the policy struct is an improvement independently of
the throttler

[05] PM / devfreq: Add support for policy notifiers
under heavy discussion ;-), can't land

[06] PM / devfreq: Make update_devfreq() public
has no user without the throttler, not sure if it should be merged
without it. up to devfreq maintainers.

Please let me know what you think

Thanks

Matthias
