cpufreq: Allow light-weight tear down and bring up of CPUs
The cpufreq core doesn't remove the cpufreq policy anymore on CPU offline operation, rather that happens when the CPU device gets unregistered from the kernel. This allows faster recovery when the CPU comes back online. This is also very useful during system wide suspend/resume where we offline all non-boot CPUs during suspend and then bring them back on resume. This commit takes the same idea a step ahead to allow drivers to do light weight tear-down and bring-up during CPU offline and online operations. A new set of callbacks is introduced, online/offline(). online() gets called when the first CPU of an inactive policy is brought up and offline() gets called when all the CPUs of a policy are offlined. The existing init/exit() callback get called on policy creation/destruction. They also get called instead of online/offline() callbacks if the online/offline() callbacks aren't provided. This also moves around some code to get executed only for the new-policy case going forward. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
