Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] PM / devfreq: Add devfreq driver for interconnect bandwidth voting

This driver registers itself as a devfreq device that allows devfreq
governors to make bandwidth votes for an interconnect path. This allows
applying various policies for different interconnect paths using devfreq
governors.

Example uses:
* Use the devfreq performance governor to set the CPU to DDR interconnect
  path for maximum performance.
* Use the devfreq performance governor to set the GPU to DDR interconnect
  path for maximum performance.
* Use the CPU frequency to device frequency mapping governor to scale the
  DDR frequency based on the needs of the CPUs' current frequency.

+Interconnect bandwidth device
+
+icbw is a device that represents an interconnect path that connects two
+devices. This device is typically used to vote for BW requirements between
+two devices. Eg: CPU to DDR, GPU to DDR, etc
I'm pretty sure this doesn't represent a h/w device. This usage doesn't 
encourage me to accept the interconnects binding either.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:		Must be "devfreq-icbw"
+- interconnects:	Pairs of phandles and interconnect provider specifier
+			to denote the edge source and destination ports of
+			the interconnect path. See also:
+		Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interconnect/interconnect.txt
+- interconnect-names:	Must have one entry with the name "path".
That's pretty useless...
+
+Example:
+
+	qcom,cpubw {
Someone in QCom please broadcast to stop using qcom,foo for node names. 
It is amazing how consistent you all are. If only folks were as 
consistent in reading 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt.
