big LITTLE is ARM's new Architecture focussing power/performance needs of modern
world. More information about big LITTLE can be found here:
http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/biglittleprocessing.phphttp://lwn.net/Articles/481055/
In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.
The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver
This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.
Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.

The Marvell Kirkwood SoCs have simple cpufreq support in hardware. The
CPU can either use the a high speed cpu clock, or the slower DDR
clock. Add a driver to swap between these two clock sources.

Add a P-state driver for the Intel Sandy bridge processor. In cpufreq
terminology this driver implements a scaling driver with an internal
governor.
When built into the the kernel this driver will be the preferred
scaling driver for Sandy bridge processors.
In addition to the interfaces provided by the cpufreq subsystem for
controlling scaling drivers. The user may control the behavior of the
driver via three sysfs files located in
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate".
max_perf_pct: limits the maximum P state that will be requested by
the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.
min_perf_pct: limits the minimum P state that will be requested by
the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.
no_turbo: limits the driver to selecting P states below the turbo
frequency range.

Add an imx6q-cpufreq driver for Freescale i.MX6Q SoC to handle the
hardware specific frequency and voltage scaling requirements.
The driver supports module build and is instantiated by the platform
device/driver mechanism, so that it will not be instantiated on other
platforms, as IMX is built with multiplatform support.

Now that the majority of x86 CPUs out there are supported by
acpi-cpufreq, we want it to load first and, in the AMD case, drop to
powernow-k8 only on K8s. If, however, both powernow-k8 and acpi-cpufreq
are built-in, the link order matters. Correct that.

This driver doesn't only handle cpufreq functionality for the
db8500 anymore. There are new variants which rely on it too.
Let's make the name a bit more generic.

Since commit 2aacdff entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors
to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file
(cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new
module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes
cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no
MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which
results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In
addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore
not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable
that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever
either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.

Multiple cpufreq governers have defined similar get_cpu_idle_time_***()
routines. These routines must be moved to some common place, so that all
governors can use them.
So moving them to cpufreq_governor.c, which seems to be a better place for
keeping these routines.

It adds a generic cpufreq driver for CPU0 frequency management based on
clk, regulator, OPP and device tree support. It can support both
uniprocessor (UP) and those symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems which
share clock and voltage across all CPUs.
