PM / devfreq: Core updates to support devices which can idle
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.
