[RFC 1/3] mmc: Add dynamic frequency scaling

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Mon Jan 12 2015 - 04:23:35 EST

Register mmc driver as devfreq device and allow dynamic frequency
scaling.

This helps in reducing of energy consumption while limiting impact on
MMC performance (in comparison to setting maximum frequency).

The feature is enabled with CONFIG_MMC_DEVFREQ (CONFIG_PM_DEVFREQ is
required). The business of device (for devfreq simple ondemand governor)
us calculated as ratio of current throughput to maximum throughput
(reached in device life-cycle) for given frequency level:
- total_time = polling time,
- busy_time = (bytes / max_throughput) * (max_freq / cur_freq),

where 'bytes' is number of bytes transferred in requests since last
poll.

Measurements on:
1. Trats2 board (Exynos4412, dw_mmc)
2. Rinato board (Exynos3250, dw_mmc)

| dd mmc->/dev/null | dd mmc->mmc | energy (idle)
======================================================================
Trats: fixed 100 MHz | 62.15 MB/s | 17.44 MB/s | 119.50 mA
Trats: mmc devfreq | 58.45 MB/s | 17.47 MB/s | 116.40 mA
======================================================================
Rinat: fixed 100 MHz | 78.70 MB/s | 6.2 MB/s | 27.16 mA
Rinat: mmc devfreq | 62.60 MB/s | 6.0 MB/s | 26.89 mA

1. 'fixed' means fixed slot clock 100 MHz (bus clock 200 MHz)
2. 'mmc devfreq' means scaled slot clock from 25 to 100 MHz (bus clock
50 MHz and 100 MHz)
