[PATCH V2 0/2] cpufreq: Allow light-weight tear down and bring up of CPUs

[Viresh Kumar]

The cpufreq core doesn't remove the cpufreq policy anymore on CPU
offline operation, rather that happens when the CPU device gets
unregistered from the kernel. This allows faster recovery when the CPU
comes back online. This is also very useful during system wide
suspend/resume where we offline all non-boot CPUs during suspend and
then bring them back on resume.

This patcset takes the same idea a step ahead to allow drivers to do
light weight tear-down and bring up during CPU offline/online operations
and updates the cpufreq-dt driver to implement the new helpers.

V1->V2:
- s/light_weight_exit()/offline()
- Also introduce the online() counterpart
