ASV is an instance of AVS. Please recondier and try to reuse
what's already there (drivers/power/avs)

Quote from drivers/power/avs/Kconfig:
          "At a given operating point the voltage is adapted depending on
          static factors (chip manufacturing process) and dynamic factors
          (temperature depending performance)."
It seems that the current ASV is subset of AVS.
Although the current implementation of AVS does not provide significant
infrastructure to its sisters, we may start by sharing the directory.


Added Jean Pihet, who has submitted AVS (TI).

Cheers,
MyungJoo.
