Hi,


Please add a documentation entry for this new ABI having a little justification and usage included.

Plus, I am considering to move trans_stat along with this entry to somewhere such as .../stat/*
(you don't need to take care of this.)

Besides, as OPP seems becoming the standard as imagined when devfreq development started,
soon, devfreq may require OPP unless the devfreq device has continuous frequencies.

Cheers,
MyungJoo
