AVS(Adaptive Voltage Scaling) is a power management technique which
controls the operating voltage of a device in order to optimize (i.e. reduce)
its power consumption. The voltage is adapted depending on static factors
(chip manufacturing process) and dynamic factors (temperature
depending performance).
The TI AVS solution is named Smartreflex.

To that end, create the AVS driver in drivers/power/avs and
move the OMAP SmartReflex code to the new directory. The
class driver is still retained in the mach-omap2 directory.

How should we handle this for upstream?

It does a bunch of cleanup under arch/arm then does the move to
drivers/power the end.  To avoid conflicts with other OMAP core changes,
I would suggest we take this through the OMAP tree.

With your ack, I'd be glad to take it.

Hello Rafael,

A gentle ping on this series.

Hi Greg,

This series has Kevin's comments incorporated.

Kevin,

Can i have your Ack for this series?

Well, as mentioned above, I'm waiting for Rafael's ack, then I will
merge it.

Because of all the arch/arm/mach-omap2/* changes, I would like to merge
this via the OMAP tree to avoid conflicts with other stuff we have
changing in arch/arm/mach-omap2/*

OK, I had an off-line discussion with Rafael and he's OK that I take
these.  I will add an ack from Rafael and queue this series up for v3.6.

Thanks,

Kevin
