From: Sibi Sankar <[email protected]> On SoCs where the governor and the mechanism to control the frequency for devices like caches is hosted on the System Control Processor (SCP), there exists a need to track the frequency changes in a reliable way and provide ways to tweak parameters on the remote governor. Add a new "remote" devfreq governor that uses the track_remote flag to expose the remote device's frequency to userspace via trans_stat. The governor deliberately does not advertise the DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_TARGET_FREQ attribute since the kernel cannot set the frequency on a remote-managed device; reads of the target_freq sysfs node therefore return -EINVAL.
