IMO, patch1/2/3/6 looks good. I replied with my reviewed-tag for them.

patch4 defines the 'struct devfreq_policy' and then patch5
send notification with 'struct devfreq_policy' on original patch.
But, when we discussed it on patch5, new devfreq notification
send 'struct devfreq_freq_limits' better than 'struct devfreq_policy'.
So, patch4 would be required with more discussion. If myungjoo agree
the current patch4, I'm okay.
