cpufreq: brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: AVS CPUfreq driver for Broadcom STB SoCs
This driver supports voltage and frequency scaling on Broadcom STB SoCs using AVS firmware with DFS and DVFS support. Actual frequency or voltage scaling is done exclusively by the AVS firmware. The driver merely provides a standard CPUfreq interface to other kernel components and userland, and instructs the AVS firmware to perform frequency or voltage changes on its behalf.
