[PATCH v3] PM / devfreq: Add possible_frequencies device attribute

[Saravana Kannan]

Some devices use freq_table instead of OPP. For those devices, the
available_frequencies sysfs file shows up empty. So, add a
possible_frequencies attribute/syfs file that list all the possible
frequencies.

For devices that use OPP, the output of this file will match
available_frequencies. It may change in the future to show all OPP
frequencies -- even the disabled ones.

Will do.

Ok.

I agree. Only one caveat with OPP is that if a device isn't using OPP to
do any voltage scaling, then it forces a voltage column with 0s. Also,
even if we make OPP mandatory, we'll still want trans_stats that
currently seem to depend on freq_table being populated. I was actually
planning on sending out more patches later that'll do a lot of stuff
automatically for devices with OPP. Like creating freq_table, etc.
