Multiple platforms are using the generic cpufreq-dt driver now, and all of them are required to create a platform device with name "cpufreq-dt", in order to get the cpufreq-dt probed.
Many of them do it from platform code, others have special drivers just to do that.
It would be more sensible to do this at a generic place, where all such platform can mark their entries.
The first patch fixes an issue that came up with an earlier version of patch 2/4, but its still worth fixing it. The second one creates a new driver to create platform-device based on current platform and the last two converts exynos platform to use this common infrastructure.
I will migrate rest of the platforms after this is accepted as the right way ahead.
@Matthew and @Mason,
Now that this is present in linux-next, you guys can send patches for your platforms cpufreq support.
Present in linux-next means it will show up in 4.6-rc5?
No, it doesn't, in general.
Bug fixes may show up in -rcX, X > 1, but the majority of new material in linux-next will show up in the next -rc1 (4.7-rc1 in this particular case).
