[PATCH V3 0/9] cpufreq: Sort policy->freq_table

[Viresh Kumar]

Hi Rafael,

So all my patches are contained in two series. The first one is:

[PATCH V3 0/8] cpufreq: cleanups and reorganization

which I have sent this morning. It does some cleanup and shall be
applied regardless of this series.

This series improves the performance of cpufreq_frequency_table_target()
routine by storing the policy->freq_table sorted in ascending order. On
one hand it shall improve the performance of current governors for
drivers providing freq-table to cpufreq core and on another hand this
API can be used directly from schedutil governor as well.

As Steve has requested earlier, these APIs are moved to a .h file to
avoid function calls.

Steve's series can use this API now without any performance lag.

The first 7 patches makes sure that current drivers wouldn't break because
of reordering of policy->freq_table and the 8th patch updates cpufreq
core to sort policy->freq_table and make
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() much more efficient.

This series is tested on ARM exynos platform and all the frequencies are
switching properly with both ondemand and schedutil governor.

V2->V3:
- Combined two series as you suggested
- Moved the new APIs and cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to a .h

All the patches are pushed here for testing in case anyone wants to try:
