[RFC RESEND 3/3] PM / devfreq: Add watermark active governor

From: Arto Merilainen
Date: Fri Dec 05 2014 - 08:42:15 EST


This patch adds a new watermark governor that actively alters the
watermark values based on the current frequency and target load.

The governor takes target load as a given property (80% by default)
and every time when the governor re-estimation is triggered, the
governor checks the current load and calculates the next frequency
that would push the device as close this target load as possible.

At this point also the watermark values are updated so that next
time the interrupt should come when the load change is significant
enough to cause frequency change to either next or previous
frequency.

+ Sets the frequency based on monitor watermark events.
+ This governor calculates relation between current load and
+ target load. The next frequency is calculated by multiplying
+ this relation with the current frequency.
+
+ The watermark values are updated so that the watermarks are
+ triggered when the above algorithm would change the frequency.
