[PATCH v5 0/7] PM / devfreq: Use OPP interface to handle the frequency

[Chanwoo Choi]

These patches makes the devfreq to use the OPP interface and clean-up codes.

[Detaild Descripion]
The commit a76caf55e5b3 ("thermal: Add devfreq cooling") provides
the devfreq cooling device by using the OPP interface such as
dev_pm_opp_disable() and dev_pm_opp_enable(). It means that
the OPP interface is able to change the available status of the frequency.

Firstly, the existing devfreq doesn't reflect the result of OPP behavior
when showing the min/max frequency through the following sysfs nodes:
It shows the wrong frequency value because min_freq/max_freq don't
consider the frequency status by handling OPP interface (opp_dev_pm_opp_
{disable|add}()). So, these patches fix this issue.
- /sys/class/devfreq/devfreqX/min_freq
- /sys/class/devfreq/devfreqX/max_freq

Second, the 'available_frequencies' should show the all supported frequencies
even if the specific frequency is not available. It doesn't matter whether
frequneyc is available or not. Because the role of 'available_frequencies'
shows the all frequencies. Also, these patches fix this issue.
- /sys/class/devfreq/devfreqX/available_frequencies

Third, update_devfreq() get the available next frequency by using
new 'scaling_min/max_frewq' variables in order to consider the disabled OPP.

For example,
- devfreq's min_freq is 100Mhz and max_freq is 700Mhz.
- OPP disabled 500/600/700Mhz due to devfreq-cooling.c.
- simple_ondemand govenor decided the next target_freq (600Mhz)
|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|Freq(MHz) |100     |200    |300    |400     |500     |600      |70 0    |
|Devfreq   |min_freq|       |       |        |        |         |max_freq|
|OPP avail |enabled |enabled|enabled|enabled |Disabled| Disabled|Disabled|
|Ondmenad  |        |       |       |        |        |next_freq|        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

In result,
- Before this patch, target_freq is 600Mhz
  and TRANSITION_NOTIFIER sends the next_freq is 600Mhz to the notifiee.
- After this patch, target_freq is 400Mhz because 500/600 were disabled by OPP.
  and TRANSITION_NOTIFIER sends the next_freq is 400Mhz to the notifiee.

Lastly,
- patch6/7 fix the minor issue and cleanup codes.


Changes from v4:
