The devfreq ues the OPP library to handle the voltage and frequency
for the device basically. This patch adds the dependency on CONFIG_PM_OPP
in order to prevent either the build break or the unknow behavior.

The newly added ARM_RK3399_DMC_DEVFREQ driver requires the
DEVFREQ_EVENT_ROCKCHIP_DFI driver and tries to turn that on through
a 'select' statement, and that in turn has a dependency on
PM_DEVFREQ_EVENT, which may be disabled here:
warning: (ARM_RK3399_DMC_DEVFREQ) selects DEVFREQ_EVENT_ROCKCHIP_DFI which has unmet direct dependencies (PM_DEVFREQ && PM_DEVFREQ_EVENT && ARCH_ROCKCHIP)
We probably want a 'depends on' here, but other drivers use 'select'
too, so for consistency I'm doing the same.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
devfreq/Kconfig:config ARM_EXYNOS_BUS_DEVFREQ
devfreq/Kconfig: bool "ARM EXYNOS Generic Memory Bus DEVFREQ Driver"
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Rather than rip out the existing modular code, Chanwoo indicated
that he'd rather see the driver offered as tristate.
I don't have the hardware for runtime validation, so this change
is only validated for compile and modpost.

passive governor
This patch adds the support of bus frequency feature for sub-blocks which share
the one power line. If each bus depends on the power line, each bus is not able
to change the voltage by oneself. To optimize the power-consumption on runtime,
some buses using the same power line should change the source clock and
regulator at the same time. So, this patch uses the passive governor to support
the bus frequency for all buses which sharing the one power line.
For example,
Exynos3250 include the two power line for AXI buses as following:
: VDD_MIF : MIF (Memory Interface) provide the DMC (Dynamic Memory Controller)
with the power (regulator).
: VDD_INT : INT (Internal) provide the various sub-blocks with the power
(regulator).
Each bus is included in as follwoing block. In the case of VDD_MIF, only DMC bus
use the power line. So, there is no any depencency between buese. But, in the
case of VDD_INT, various buses share the one power line of VDD_INT. We need to
make the depenency between buses. When using passive governor, there is no
problem to support the bus frequency as DVFS for all buses. One bus should be
operated as the parent bus device which gathering the current load of INT block
and then decides the new frequency with some governors except of passive
governor. After deciding the new frequency by the parent bus device, the rest
bus devices will change the each source clock according to new frequency of the
parent bus device.

This patch adds the new passive governor for DEVFREQ framework. The following
governors are already present and used for DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency
Scaling) drivers. The following governors are independently used for one device
driver which don't give the influence to other device drviers and also don't
receive the effect from other device drivers.
- ondemand / performance / powersave / userspace
The passive governor depends on operation of parent driver with specific
governos extremely and is not able to decide the new frequency by oneself.
According to the decided new frequency of parent driver with governor,
the passive governor uses it to decide the appropriate frequency for own
device driver. The passive governor must need the following information
from device tree:
- the source clock and OPP tables
- the instance of parent device
For exameple,
there are one more devfreq device drivers which need to change their source
clock according to their utilization on runtime. But, they share the same
power line (e.g., regulator). So, specific device driver is operated as parent
with ondemand governor and then the rest device driver with passive governor
is influenced by parent device.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"We have a few new features this time, including a new SFI-based
cpufreq driver, a new devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor, a new
devfreq class for providing its governors with raw utilization data
and a new ACPI driver for AMD SoCs.
Still, the majority of changes here are reworks of existing code to
make it more straightforward or to prepare it for implementing new
features on top of it. The primary example is the rework of ACPI
resources handling from Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner and Lv Zheng with
support for IOAPIC hotplug implemented on top of it, but there is
quite a number of changes of this kind in the cpufreq core, ACPICA,
ACPI EC driver, ACPI processor driver and the generic power domains
core code too.
The most active developer is Viresh Kumar with his cpufreq changes.
Specifics:
- Rework of the core ACPI resources parsing code to fix issues in it
and make using resource offsets more convenient and consolidation
of some resource-handing code in a couple of places that have grown
analagous data structures and code to cover the the same gap in the
core (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner, Lv Zheng).
- ACPI-based IOAPIC hotplug support on top of the resources handling
rework (Jiang Liu, Yinghai Lu).
- ACPICA update to upstream release 20150204 including an interrupt
handling rework that allows drivers to install raw handlers for
ACPI GPEs which then become entirely responsible for the given GPE
and the ACPICA core code won't touch it (Lv Zheng, David E Box,
Octavian Purdila).
- ACPI EC driver rework to fix several concurrency issues and other
problems related to events handling on top of the ACPICA's new
support for raw GPE handlers (Lv Zheng).
- New ACPI driver for AMD SoCs analogous to the LPSS (Low-Power
Subsystem) driver for Intel chips (Ken Xue).
- Two minor fixes of the ACPI LPSS driver (Heikki Krogerus, Jarkko
Nikula).
- Two new blacklist entries for machines (Samsung 730U3E/740U3E and
510R) where the native backlight interface doesn't work correctly
while the ACPI one does (Hans de Goede).
- Rework of the ACPI processor driver's handling of idle states to
make the code more straightforward and less bloated overall (Rafael
J Wysocki).
- Assorted minor fixes related to ACPI and SFI (Andreas Ruprecht,
Andy Shevchenko, Hanjun Guo, Jan Beulich, Rafael J Wysocki, Yaowei
Bai).
- PCI core power management modification to avoid resuming (some)
runtime-suspended devices during system suspend if they are in the
right states already (Rafael J Wysocki).
- New SFI-based cpufreq driver for Intel platforms using SFI
(Srinidhi Kasagar).
- cpufreq core fixes, cleanups and simplifications (Viresh Kumar,
Doug Anderson, Wolfram Sang).
- SkyLake CPU support and other updates for the intel_pstate driver
(Kristen Carlson Accardi, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- cpufreq-dt driver cleanup (Markus Elfring).
- Init fix for the ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver (Sudeep Holla).
- Generic power domains core code fixes and cleanups (Ulf Hansson).
- Operating Performance Points (OPP) core code cleanups and kernel
documentation update (Nishanth Menon).
- New dabugfs interface to make the list of PM QoS constraints
available to user space (Nishanth Menon).
- New devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor (Tomeu Vizoso).
- New devfreq class (devfreq_event) to provide raw utilization data
to devfreq governors (Chanwoo Choi).
- Assorted minor fixes and cleanups related to power management
(Andreas Ruprecht, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Rickard Strandqvist, Pavel
Machek, Todd E Brandt, Wonhong Kwon).
- turbostat updates (Len Brown) and cpupower Makefile improvement

This patch adds a new class in devfreq, devfreq_event, which provides
raw data (e.g., memory bus utilization, GPU utilization) for devfreq
governors.
- devfreq_event device : Provides raw data for a governor of a devfreq device
- devfreq device : Monitors device state and changes frequency/voltage
of the device using the raw data from its
devfreq_event device.
A devfreq device dertermines performance states (normally the frequency
and the voltage vlues) based on the results its designtated devfreq governor:
e.g., ondemand, performance, powersave.
In order to give such results required by a devfreq device, the devfreq
governor requires data that indicates the performance requirement given
to the devfreq device. The conventional (previous) implementatino of
devfreq subsystem requires a devfreq device driver to implement its own
mechanism to acquire performance requirement for its governor. However,
there had been issues with such requirements:
1. Although performance requirement of such devices is usually acquired
from common devices (PMU/PPMU), we do not have any abstract structure to
represent them properly.
2. Such performance requirement devices (PMU/PPMU) are actual hardware
pieces that may be represented by Device Tree directly while devfreq device
itself is a virtual entity that are not considered to be represented by
Device Tree according to Device Tree folks.
In order to address such issues, a devferq_event device (represented by
this patch) provides a template for device drivers representing
performance monitoring unit, which gives the basic or raw data for
preformance requirement, which in turn, is required by devfreq governors.
The following description explains the feature of two kind of devfreq class:
- devfreq class (existing)
: devfreq consumer device use raw data from devfreq_event device for
determining proper current system state and change voltage/frequency
dynamically using various governors.
- devfreq_event class (new)
: Provide measured raw data to devfreq device for governor

Exynos4-bus device devfreq driver add DVFS capability for
Exynos4210/4212/4412-Bus (memory). The driver monitors PPMU counters of memory
controllers and adjusts operating frequencies and voltages with OPP.
For Exynos4210, vdd_int is controlled. For exynos4412/4212, vdd_mif and
vdd_int are controlled.
Dependency (CONFIG_EXYNOS_ASV):
Exynos4 ASV driver has been posted in the mailing list; however, it
si not yet upstreamed. Although the current revision of Exynos4 ASV
patch does not contain "CONFIG_EXYNOS_ASV", we have added the symbol
to hide the dependent from compilers for now. As soon as Exynos4 ASV
drivers are merged, the #ifdef statement will be removed or the
name will be changed.
However, enabling ASV is essential in most Exynos4 chips to reduce
the power consumption of Exynos4210 because without ASV, this Devfreq
driver assumes the worst case scenario, which consumes more power.

Four cpufreq-like governors are provided as examples.
powersave: use the lowest frequency possible. The user (device) should
set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this governor.
performance: use the highest freqeuncy possible. The user (device)
should set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this
governor.
userspace: use the user specified frequency stored at
devfreq.user_set_freq. With sysfs support in the following patch, a user
may set the value with the sysfs interface.
simple_ondemand: simplified version of cpufreq's ondemand governor.
When a user updates OPP entries (enable/disable/add), OPP framework
automatically notifies devfreq to update operating frequency
accordingly. Thus, devfreq users (device drivers) do not need to update
devfreq manually with OPP entry updates or set polling_ms for powersave
, performance, userspace, or any other "static" governors.
Note that these are given only as basic examples for governors and any
devices with devfreq may implement their own governors with the drivers
and use them.

With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage
sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system
will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power
consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the
performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)
scheme may be used.
This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs.
DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a
device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low
as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts
voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power
consumption and heat dissipation.
The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with
/drivers/cpufreq. However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple
devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous
devices with different (but simple) governors.
Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for
the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency.
devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency
recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage
based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to
device driver's "target" callback.
When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device
driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS
requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and
opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's
update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least
one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a
transition.
