[PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: Add support for per-policy driver data

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Wed Jun 25 2014 - 04:43:14 EST


Drivers supporting multiple clusters or multiple 'struct cpufreq_policy'
instances may need to keep some per-policy data. If the core doesn't support
them, they might do it in the most unoptimized way: per-cpu data.

This patch adds another field in 'struct cpufreq_policy': driver_data. It isn't
accessed by core and is completely for driver's internal use.
