71508a1f4f cpufreq: use kzalloc() to allocate memory for cpufreq_frequency_table
Few drivers are using kmalloc() to allocate memory for frequency
tables and since we will have an additional field '.flags' in
'struct cpufreq_frequency_table', these might become unstable.
Better get these fixed by replacing kmalloc() by kzalloc() instead.

Along with that we also remove use of .driver_data from SPEAr driver
as it doesn't use it at all. Also, writing zero to .driver_data is not
required for powernow-k8 as it is already zero.

1ea7d77b09 cpufreq: ia64: don't set .driver_data to index
.driver_data field is only required to be filled if drivers want to
preserve some data in there which they can use according to the value
of .frequency. But this driver isn't using this field at all, but just
setting it equal to the index value. Which isn't required. Fix it.

e0b3165ba5 cpufreq: add 'freq_table' in struct cpufreq_policy
freq table is not per CPU but per policy, so it makes more sense to
keep it within struct cpufreq_policy instead of a per-cpu variable.

This patch does it. Over that, there is no need to set policy->freq_table
to NULL in ->exit(), as policy structure is going to be freed soon.

d4019f0a92 cpufreq: move freq change notifications to cpufreq core
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.

9c0ebcf78f cpufreq: Implement light weight ->target_index() routine
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.

34a2548890 cpufreq: ia64-acpi: don't initialize part of policy set by core
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().

59b2413bfe cpufreq: ia64-acpi: Use generic cpufreq routines
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 ia64-acpi driver.

adc97d6a73 cpufreq: Drop the owner field from struct cpufreq_driver
We don't need to set .owner = THIS_MODULE any more in cpufreq drivers
as this field isn't used any more by the cpufreq core.

d5b73cd870 cpufreq: Use sizeof(*ptr) convetion for computing sizes
Chapter 14 of Documentation/CodingStyle says:

The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

	p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);

The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts
readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer
variable type is changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed
to a memory allocator is not.

This wasn't followed consistently in drivers/cpufreq, let's make it
more consistent by always following this rule.

5070158804 cpufreq: rename index as driver_data in cpufreq_frequency_table
The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an
index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core.  It only is useful
for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes.

Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the
assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake.

Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is. All of its
users are updated accordingly.
