That's a lot of lines for something that we want to backport to
stable kernels!

The whole dev_list design seems fairly broken to me. Another
solution would be to iterate the cpumask in reverse, but there
doesn't seem to be a construct for that and adding one is
probably not worth the effort.

Adding yet another member to the structure and doing accounting
in different places seems to be papering over the problem as
well. Now we want to have "inactive" devices in the list? That
seems like a problem for cpufreq to solve. It can decide to not
call OPP APIs when the cpu device isn't actually physically
removed if it wants to.

It also exposes the OPP API's strong reliance on struct device
for everything. Really we shouldn't be storing device pointers in
the OPP core at all because we're not treating them like the
reference counted objects they are. The dev_list should go
probably go away and be replaced with some sort of counter. It
would also be nice if struct device had a pointer to the OPP
table(s) for a device so the lookup is direct.

BTW, _dev_pm_opp_remove_table() calls _find_opp_dev() twice, once
to find the opp_table for a device and then to find the
opp_device inside the table that was used to match up the table
in the first place. Madness!

Anyway, rant over, how about handing out the opp table pointer to
the caller so they can pass it back in when they call the put
side? That should fix the same problem if I understand correctly.

We should think about changing the API further so that callers
have to "get" the OPP table cookie for their device and then pass
that pointer to the dev_pm_*_set() APIs instead of passing a
struct device pointer. That would save lots of cycles searching
for something we already had.
