Currently cpufreq_add_dev() firsts allocates policy, calls
driver->init() and then checks if this CPU is already managed or not.
And if it is already managed, its policy is freed.
We can save all this if we somehow know that CPU is managed or not in
advance. policy->related_cpus contains the list of all valid sibling
CPUs of policy->cpu. We can check this to see if the current CPU is
already managed.
From now on, platforms don't really need to set related_cpus from
their init() routines, as the same work is done by core too.
If a platform driver needs to set the related_cpus mask with some
additional CPUs, other than CPUs present in policy->cpus, they are
free to do it, though, as we don't override anything.

Highbank processors depend on the external ECME to perform voltage
management based on a requested frequency. Communication between the
A9 cores and the ECME happens over the pl320 IPC channel.

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.

de3ed81d74 ("[CPUFREQ] Change link order of x86 cpufreq modules")
changed cpufreq drivers link order so that powernow-k8 gets loaded first
due to earlier K8s having BIOS bugs.
However, now that acpi-cpufreq supports both AMD and Intel CPUs with HW
P-states, we want to load it first, so that cases where acpi-cpufreq and
powernow-k8 are both built-in and powernow-k8 initializing first, can be
addressed.
So, make sure that even if acpi-cpufreq gets loaded first, it errors out
on K8s and powernow-k8 can be loaded then successfully.

When disable_cpufreq() is called some exported functions are still
being used that do not have a check for cpufreq being disabled.
Add a disabled check into cpufreq_cpu_get() to return NULL if
cpufreq is disabled this covers most of the exported functions. For
the exported functions that do not call cpufreq_cpu_get() add an
explicit check.

__cpufreq_remove_dev() is called on multiple occasions: cpufreq_driver
unregister and cpu removals.
Current implementation of this routine is overly complex without much need. If
the cpu to be removed is the policy->cpu, we remove the policy first and add all
other cpus again from policy->cpus and then finally call __cpufreq_remove_dev()
again to remove the cpu to be deleted. Haahhhh..
There exist a simple solution to removal of a cpu:
- Simply use the old policy structure
- update its fields like: policy->cpu, etc.
- notify any users of cpufreq, which depend on changing policy->cpu
Hence this patch, which tries to implement the above theory. It is tested well
by myself on ARM big.LITTLE TC2 SoC, which has 5 cores (2 A15 and 3 A7). Both
A15's share same struct policy and all A7's share same policy structure.

This is how the core works:
cpufreq_driver_unregister()
- subsys_interface_unregister()
- for_each_cpu() call cpufreq_remove_dev(), i.e. 0,1,2,3,4 when we
unregister.
cpufreq_remove_dev():
- Remove policy node
- Call cpufreq_add_dev() for next cpu, sharing mask with removed cpu.
i.e. When cpu 0 is removed, we call it for cpu 1. And when called for cpu 2,
we call it for cpu 3.
- cpufreq_add_dev() would call cpufreq_driver->init()
- init would return mask as AND of 2, 3 and 4 for cluster A7.
- cpufreq core would do online_cpu && policy->cpus
Here is the BUG(). Because cpu hasn't died but we have just unregistered
the cpufreq driver, online cpu would still have cpu 2 in it. And so thing
go bad again.
Solution: Keep cpumask of cpus that are registered with cpufreq core and clear
cpus when we get a call from subsys_interface_unregister() via
cpufreq_remove_dev().

Because cpufreq core and governors worry only about the online cpus, if a cpu is
hot [un]plugged, we must notify governors about it, otherwise be ready to expect
something unexpected.
We already have notifiers in the form of CPUFREQ_GOV_START/CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP, we
just need to call them now.

cpufreq core doesn't manage offline cpus and if driver->init() has returned
mask including offline cpus, it may result in unwanted behavior by cpufreq core
or governors.
We need to get only online cpus in this mask. There are two places to fix this
mask, cpufreq core and cpufreq driver. It makes sense to do this at common place
and hence is done in core.

This patch fixes a bug that occurred when we had load on a secondary CPU
and the primary CPU was sleeping. Only one sampling timer was spawned
and it was spawned as a deferred timer on the primary CPU, so when a
secondary CPU had a change in load this was not detected by the cpufreq
governor (both ondemand and conservative).
This patch make sure that deferred timers are run on all CPUs in the
case of software controlled CPUs that run on the same frequency.
