This commit extends the cpufreq_driver structure with an additional 'void *driver_data' field that can be filled by the ->probe() function of a cpufreq driver to pass additional custom information to the driver itself.
A new function called cpufreq_get_driver_data() is added to allow a cpufreq driver to retrieve those driver data, since they are typically needed from a cpufreq_policy->init() callback, which does not have access to the cpufreq_driver structure. This function call is similar to the existing cpufreq_get_current_driver() function call.
