[PATCH] cpufreq: ARM big LITTLE: Add generic cpufreq driver and its DT glue

big LITTLE is ARM's new Architecture focussing power/performance needs of modern
world. More information about big LITTLE can be found here:

http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/biglittleprocessing.php
http://lwn.net/Articles/481055/

In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.

The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver

This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.

Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.

+Generic ARM big LITTLE cpufreq driver's DT glue
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+It is DT specific glue layer for generic cpufreq driver for big LITTLE systems.
+
+Both required and optional properties listed below must be defined under node
+cluster*. * can be 0 or 1.
+
+Required properties:
+- freqs: List of all supported frequencies.
+
+Optional properties:
+- clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for clock, in
+  unit of nanoseconds.
+
+Examples:
+
+cluster0: cluster at 0 {
+        ..
+
+	freqs = <500000000 600000000 700000000 800000000 900000000 1000000000 1100000000 1200000000>;
+	clock-latency = <200000>;
+
+	..
+
+        cores {
+		..
+        };
+};
