2012-11-20PM / devfreq: governors: add GPL module license and allow module buildNishanth Menon
Add GPL module license and remove the static build restrictions for building governors. This allows governors now to be loaded on a need basis and reloaded independently of kernel build 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: map devfreq drivers to governor using nameNishanth Menon
Allow devfreq drivers to register a preferred governor name and when the devfreq governor loads itself at a later point required drivers are managed appropriately, at the time of unload of a devfreq governor, stop managing those drivers as well. Since the governor structures do not need to be exposed anymore, remove the definitions and make them static NOTE: devfreq_list_lock is now used to protect governor start and stop - as this allows us to protect governors and devfreq with the proper dependencies as needed. As part of this change, change the registration of exynos bus driver to request for ondemand using the governor name.

2012-11-20PM / devfreq: register governors with devfreq frameworkNishanth Menon
With the new registration functions, governors can be now registered with devfreq framework.

2012-11-15PM / devfreq: Add suspend and resume apisRajagopal Venkat
Add devfreq suspend/resume apis for devfreq users. This patch supports suspend and resume of devfreq load monitoring, required for devices which can idle.

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.
