2012-11-20PM / devfreq: Add sysfs node to expose available governorsNishanth Menon
Now that governor list can be variable, knowing the available governors is useful to be able to select a governor using relevant sysfs node.

2012-11-20PM / devfreq: allow sysfs governor node to switch governorNishanth Menon
This allows us to select governor runtime from the default configuration without having to rebuild kernel or the devfreq driver using the sysfs node: /sys/class/devfreq/.../governor cat of the governor will return valid governor and an echo 'governor_name'>governor will switch governor Cc: Rajagopal Venkat <rajagopal.venkat@linaro.org> Cc: MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com> Cc: Kyungmin Park <kyungmin.park@samsung.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2012-11-20PM / devfreq: Add sysfs node for representing frequency transition information.Jonghwa Lee
This patch adds sysfs node which can be used to get information of frequency transition. It represents transition table which contains total number of transition of each freqeuncy state and time spent. It is inspired CPUFREQ's status driver.

2012-11-20PM / devfreq: Add sysfs node to expose available frequenciesNishanth Menon
devfreq governors such as ondemand are controlled by a min and max frequency, while governors like userspace governor allow us to set a specific frequency. However, for the same specific device, depending on the SoC, the available frequencies can vary. So expose the available frequencies as a snapshot over sysfs to allow informed decisions. This was inspired by cpufreq framework's equivalent for similar usage sysfs node: scaling_available_frequencies.

2012-11-15PM / devfreq: Add current freq callback in device profileRajagopal Venkat
Devfreq returns governor predicted frequency as current frequency via sysfs interface. But device may not support all frequencies that governor predicts. So add a callback in device profile to get current freq from driver. Also add a new sysfs node to expose governor predicted next target frequency.

2012-11-15PM / devfreq: Core updates to support devices which can idleRajagopal Venkat
Prepare devfreq core framework to support devices which can idle. When device idleness is detected perhaps through runtime-pm, need some mechanism to suspend devfreq load monitoring and resume back when device is online. Present code continues monitoring unless device is removed from devfreq core. This patch introduces following design changes, - use per device work instead of global work to monitor device load. This enables suspend/resume of device devfreq and reduces monitoring code complexity. - decouple delayed work based load monitoring logic from core by introducing helpers functions to be used by governors. This provides flexibility for governors either to use delayed work based monitoring functions or to implement their own mechanism. - devfreq core interacts with governors via events to perform specific actions. These events include start/stop devfreq. This sets ground for adding suspend/resume events. The devfreq apis are not modified and are kept intact.

2011-10-02PM / devfreq: Add basic governorsMyungJoo Ham
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.
