Mike, Viresh, Rafael, Jason, Gregory, Andrew, Sebastian,

Here is the third version of the patches adding cpufreq support for
the Marvell Armada XP processor.

Changes since v2
================

 - As suggested by Stephen Boyd, instead of using a new clock notifier
   that somewhat "hides" the dependency of the clk-cpu clock driver on
   the PMSU, use a direct call from the clk-cpu driver to the PMSU
   driver.

 - Add a comment that explains why the OPP are not removed on failure
   in the PMSU code initializing the cpufreq logic, in answer to the
   review from Ezequiel Garcia.

Changes since v1
================

 - Rework the patch series to use the generalized cpufreq-cpu0
   (renamed cpufreq-generic) driver instead of having an Armada XP
   specific cpufreq driver. This was suggested by Viresh
   Kumar. Basically, it only involved adding a "clock-latency"
   property in the DT, and changing the PMSU code to register the two
   OPPs supported by each CPU, and registering the "cpufreq-generic"
   platform device instead of the "armadaxp-cpufreq" one.

Jason, this patch series is based on 3.16-rc3, but it applies fine
even with mvebu/fixes and mvebu/soc merged (which contain some PMSU
changes), so I haven't based the patch series on those branches. To
_work_, the code needs the new cpufreq-generic driver which is pending
in Viresh Kumar's tree for 3.17, but there is no build dependency.

Thanks,

Thomas
