__cpufreq_governor() must be called with a correct policy->cpus mask.
In __cpufreq_remove_dev() we initially clear policy->cpus with
cpumask_clear_cpu() and then call
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT). If the governor
is doing some per-cpu stuff in EXIT callback, this can create
uncertain behavior.
Generic governors in drivers/cpufreq/ doesn't do any per-cpu stuff
in EXIT callback and so we don't face any issues currently. But its
better to keep the code clean, so we don't face any issues in future.
Now, we call cpumask_clear_cpu() only when multiple cpus are managed
by policy.

As multi-platform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms,
initcall function should be used very carefully. For example, when
CONFIG_ARM_OMAP2PLUS_CPUFREQ is built in the kernel, omap_cpufreq_init()
will be called on all the platforms to initialize omap-cpufreq driver.
Further, on OMAP, we now use Soc generic cpufreq-cpu0 driver using device
tree entries. To allow cpufreq-cpu0 and omap-cpufreq drivers to co-exist
for OMAP in a single image, we need to ensure the following:
1. With device tree boot, we use cpufreq-cpu0
2. With non device tree boot, we use omap-cpufreq
In the case of (1), we will have cpu OPPs and regulator registered
as part of the device tree nodes, to ensure that omap-cpufreq
and cpufreq-cpu0 don't conflict in managing the frequency of the
same CPU, we should not permit omap-cpufreq to be probed.
In the case of (2), we will not have the cpufreq-cpu0 device, hence
only omap-cpufreq will be active.
To eliminate this undesired these effects, we change omap-cpufreq
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver and register
"omap-cpufreq" device only when booted without device tree nodes on
OMAP platforms.
This allows the following:
a) Will only run on platforms that create the platform_device
"omap-cpufreq".
b) Since the platform_device is registered only when device tree nodes
are *not* populated, omap-cpufreq driver does not conflict with
the usage of cpufreq-cpu0 driver which is used on OMAP platforms when
device tree nodes are present.
Inspired by commit 5553f9e26f
(cpufreq: instantiate cpufreq-cpu0 as a platform_driver)

I don't see an easy wasy to protect the cpufreq_cpu_data structure

In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.
The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver
This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.
Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.

It is not possible for init() to be called for any cpu other than cpu0. During
bootup whatever cpu is used to boot system will be assigned as cpu0. And later
on policy->cpu can only change if we hotunplug all cpus first and then hotplug
them back in different order, which isn't possible (system requires atleast one
cpu to be up always :)).
Though I can see one situation where policy->cpu can be different then zero.
- Hot-unplug cpu 0.
- rmmod cpufreq-cpu0 module
- insmod it back
- hotplug cpu 0 again.
Here, policy->cpu would be different. But the driver doesn't have any dependency
on cpu0 as such. We don't mind which cpu of a system is policy->cpu and so this
check is just not required.

cpufreq: handle SW coordinated CPUs
This causes additional unnecessary interrupts on all cpus when the load is
recently evaluated by any other cpu. i.e. When load is recently evaluated by cpu
x, we don't really need any other cpu to evaluate this load again for the next
sampling_rate time.
Some sort of code is present to avoid that but we are still getting timer
interrupts for all cpus. A good way of avoiding this would be to modify delays
for all cpus (policy->cpus) whenever any cpu has evaluated load.
This patch does this change and some related code cleanup.

Because we have per cpu timer now, we check if we need to evaluate load again or
not (In case it is recently evaluated). Here the 2nd cpu which got timer
interrupt updates core_dbs_info->sample_type irrespective of load evaluation is
required or not. Which is wrong as the first cpu is dependent on this variable
set to an older value.
Moreover it would be best in this case to schedule 2nd cpu's timer to
sampling_rate instead of freq_lo or hi as that must be managed by the other cpu.
In case the other cpu idles in between then also we wouldn't loose much power.
