What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../
Date:		September 2011
Contact:	MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
Description:
		Provide a place in sysfs for the devfreq objects.
		This allows accessing various devfreq specific variables.
		The name of devfreq object denoted as ... is same as the
		name of device using devfreq.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../governor
Date:		September 2011
Contact:	MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
Description:
		The /sys/class/devfreq/.../governor show or set the name of the
		governor used by the corresponding devfreq object.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../cur_freq
Date:		September 2011
Contact:	MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
Description:
		The /sys/class/devfreq/.../cur_freq shows the current
		frequency of the corresponding devfreq object. Same as
		target_freq when get_cur_freq() is not implemented by
		devfreq driver.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../target_freq
Date:		September 2012
Contact:	Rajagopal Venkat <rajagopal.venkat@linaro.org>
Description:
		The /sys/class/devfreq/.../target_freq shows the next governor
		predicted target frequency of the corresponding devfreq object.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../polling_interval
Date:		September 2011
Contact:	MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
Description:
		The /sys/class/devfreq/.../polling_interval shows and sets
		the requested polling interval of the corresponding devfreq
		object. The values are represented in ms. If the value is
		less than 1 jiffy, it is considered to be 0, which means
		no polling. This value is meaningless if the governor is
		not polling; thus. If the governor is not using
		devfreq-provided central polling
		(/sys/class/devfreq/.../central_polling is 0), this value
		may be useless.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../trans_stat
Date:		October 2012
Contact:	MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
Descrtiption:
		This ABI shows the statistics of devfreq behavior on a
		specific device. It shows the time spent in each state and
		the number of transitions between states.
		In order to activate this ABI, the devfreq target device
		driver should provide the list of available frequencies
		with its profile.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../userspace/set_freq
Date:		September 2011
Contact:	MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
Description:
		The /sys/class/devfreq/.../userspace/set_freq shows and
		sets the requested frequency for the devfreq object if
		userspace governor is in effect.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../available_frequencies
Date:		October 2012
Contact:	Nishanth Menon <nm@ti.com>
Description:
		The /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_frequencies shows
		the available frequencies of the corresponding devfreq object.
		This is a snapshot of available frequencies and not limited
		by the min/max frequency restrictions.

What:		/sys/class/devfreq/.../available_governors
Date:		October 2012
Contact:	Nishanth Menon <nm@ti.com>
Description:
		The /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_governors shows
		currently available governors in the system.
