On multi-policy systems there is a single instance of governor for both the
policies (if same governor is chosen for both policies). With the code update
from following patches:

8eeed095 cpufreq: governors: Get rid of dbs_data->enable field
b394058f cpufreq: governors: Reset tunables only for cpufreq_unregister_governor()

We are creating/removing sysfs directory of governor for for every call to
GOV_START and STOP. This would fail for multi-policy system as there is a
per-policy call to START/STOP.

This patch reuses the governor->initialized variable to detect total users of
governor.

every time that the frequency must be decreased, we replace the

Update the adj_up_threshold only when the up_theshold is also updated.

As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms,
initcall function should be used very carefully.  For example, when
GENERIC_CPUFREQ_CPU0 is built in the kernel, cpu0_cpufreq_driver_init()
will be called on all the platforms to initialize cpufreq-cpu0 driver.

To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes cpufreq-cpu0
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver.  Then it will only
run on platforms that create the platform_device "cpufreq-cpu0".

Along with the change, it also changes cpu_dev to be &pdev->dev,
so that managed functions can start working, and module build gets
supported too.

The highbank-cpufreq driver is also updated accordingly to adapt the
changes on cpufreq-cpu0.

Currently cpufreq_add_dev() firsts allocates policy, calls
driver->init() and then checks if this CPU is already managed or not.
And if it is already managed, its policy is freed.

We can save all this if we somehow know that CPU is managed or not in
advance.  policy->related_cpus contains the list of all valid sibling
CPUs of policy->cpu. We can check this to see if the current CPU is
already managed.

From now on, platforms don't really need to set related_cpus from
their init() routines, as the same work is done by core too.

If a platform driver needs to set the related_cpus mask with some
additional CPUs, other than CPUs present in policy->cpus, they are
free to do it, though, as we don't override anything.

__cpufreq_remove_dev() is called on multiple occasions: cpufreq_driver
unregister and cpu removals.

Current implementation of this routine is overly complex without much need. If
the cpu to be removed is the policy->cpu, we remove the policy first and add all
other cpus again from policy->cpus and then finally call __cpufreq_remove_dev()
again to remove the cpu to be deleted. Haahhhh..

There exist a simple solution to removal of a cpu:
- Simply use the old policy structure
- update its fields like: policy->cpu, etc.
- notify any users of cpufreq, which depend on changing policy->cpu

Hence this patch, which tries to implement the above theory. It is tested well
by myself on ARM big.LITTLE TC2 SoC, which has 5 cores (2 A15 and 3 A7). Both
A15's share same struct policy and all A7's share same policy structure.

This is how the core works:
cpufreq_driver_unregister()
 - subsys_interface_unregister()
   - for_each_cpu() call cpufreq_remove_dev(), i.e. 0,1,2,3,4 when we
     unregister.

cpufreq_remove_dev():
 - Remove policy node
 - Call cpufreq_add_dev() for next cpu, sharing mask with removed cpu.
   i.e. When cpu 0 is removed, we call it for cpu 1. And when called for cpu 2,
   we call it for cpu 3.
   - cpufreq_add_dev() would call cpufreq_driver->init()
   - init would return mask as AND of 2, 3 and 4 for cluster A7.
   - cpufreq core would do online_cpu && policy->cpus
     Here is the BUG(). Because cpu hasn't died but we have just unregistered
     the cpufreq driver, online cpu would still have cpu 2 in it. And so thing
     go bad again.

Solution: Keep cpumask of cpus that are registered with cpufreq core and clear
	  cpus when we get a call from subsys_interface_unregister() via
	  cpufreq_remove_dev().

Since commit 2aacdfff entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors
to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file
(cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new
module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes
cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no
MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which
results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In
addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore
not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable
that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever
either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.
