Sometimes boot loaders set CPU frequency to a value outside of frequency table
present with cpufreq core. In such cases CPU might be unstable if it has to run
on that frequency for long duration of time and so its better to set it to a
frequency which is specified in frequency table.
On some systems we can't really say what frequency we're running at the moment
and so for these we shouldn't check if we are running at a frequency present in
frequency table. And so we really can't force this for all the cpufreq drivers.
Hence we are created another flag here: CPUFREQ_NEED_INITIAL_FREQ_CHECK that
will be marked by platforms which want to go for this check at boot time.
Initially this is done for all ARM platforms but others may follow if required.

Most of the drivers do following in their ->target_index() routines:
struct cpufreq_freqs freqs;
freqs.old = old freq...
freqs.new = new freq...
cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE);
/* Change rate here */
cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs, CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE);
This is replicated over all cpufreq drivers today and there doesn't exists a
good enough reason why this shouldn't be moved to cpufreq core instead.
There are few special cases though, like exynos5440, which doesn't do everything
on the call to ->target_index() routine and call some kind of bottom halves for
doing this work, work/tasklet/etc..
They may continue doing notification from their own code as flag:
CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION is already set for them.
All drivers are also modified in this patch to avoid breaking 'git bisect', as
double notification would happen otherwise.

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:
int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
unsigned int relation);
And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
don't use target_freq and relation after that.
So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
are converted to expose frequency tables.
This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
It looks like this:
int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);
CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.
This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.
It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
.target_index() routine for many driver.

Use generic cpufreq_generic_init() routine instead of replicating the same code
here.

Many common initializations of struct policy are moved to core now and hence
this driver doesn't need to do it. This patch removes such code.
Most recent of those changes is to call ->get() in the core after calling
->init().

Most of the CPUFreq drivers do similar things in .exit() and .verify() routines
and .attr. So its better if we have generic routines for them which can be used
by cpufreq drivers then.
This patch uses these generic routines in the sa11x0 driver.

Many fields of struct policy are filled by cpufreq core when we call
cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() and so cpufreq driver doesn't need to set them
anymore.

This patch exposes sa11x0's frequency table to cpufreq core. It always existed
but not as an array frequencies and not in the format cpufreq core wants it to.
Also it was present in the unit of 100kHz earlier which is made consistent with
cpufreq core now, i.e. kHz.
