The cpufreq core is already validating the CPU frequency table after
calling the ->init() callback of the cpufreq drivers and the drivers
don't need to do the same anymore. Though they need to set the
policy->freq_table field directly from the ->init() callback now.
Stop validating the frequency table from longhaul driver.

The commit e948bc8fbe ("cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay
value to 10 ms") caused a regression on EPIA-M min-ITX computer where
shutdown or reboot hangs occasionally with a print message like:
longhaul: Warning: Timeout while waiting for idle PCI bus
cpufreq: __target_index: Failed to change cpu frequency: -16
This probably happens because the cpufreq governor tries to change the
frequency of the CPU faster than allowed by the hardware.
Before the above commit, the default transition delay was set to 200 ms
for a transition_latency of 200000 ns. Lets revert back to that
transition delay value to fix it. Note that several other transition
delay values were tested like 20 ms and 30 ms and none of them have
resolved system hang issue completely.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time.
To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil"
governor. Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor
since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree
ones).
There are two main differences between it and the existing governors.
First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for
making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself.
Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU
performance right away without having to spawn work items to be
executed in process context or similar. Currently, the acpi-cpufreq
driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it
is used on a large number of systems.
The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly
regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the
scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in
progress on top of it already). Nevertheless it works and the
preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging.
There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM
platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev
driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform
device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform
code any more. Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this
generic mechanism.
In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect
CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and
provided via the ACPI _PPC object.
The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs
subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage
rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated.
The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in
intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in
a number of places.
Specifics:
- New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki)

them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they
are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao,

During frequency transitions, the cpufreq core takes the responsibility of
invoking cpufreq_freq_transition_begin() and cpufreq_freq_transition_end()
for those cpufreq drivers that define the ->target_index callback but don't
set the ASYNC_NOTIFICATION flag.
The longhaul cpufreq driver falls under this category, but this driver was
invoking the _begin() and _end() APIs itself around frequency transitions,
which led to double invocation of the _begin() API. The _begin API makes
contending callers wait until the previous invocation is complete. Hence,
the longhaul driver ended up waiting on itself, leading to system hangs
during boot.
Fix this by removing the calls to the _begin() and _end() APIs from the
longhaul driver, since they rightly belong to the cpufreq core.
(Note that during module_exit(), the longhaul driver sets the frequency
without any help from the cpufreq core. So add explicit calls to the
_begin() and _end() APIs around that frequency transition alone, to take
care of that special case.)

Few drivers are using kmalloc() to allocate memory for frequency
tables and since we will have an additional field '.flags' in
'struct cpufreq_frequency_table', these might become unstable.
Better get these fixed by replacing kmalloc() by kzalloc() instead.
Along with that we also remove use of .driver_data from SPEAr driver
as it doesn't use it at all. Also, writing zero to .driver_data is not
required for powernow-k8 as it is already zero.

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:
int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
unsigned int relation);
And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
don't use target_freq and relation after that.
So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
are converted to expose frequency tables.
This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
It looks like this:
int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);
CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.
This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.
It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
.target_index() routine for many driver.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the drivers/cpufreq uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an
index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core. It only is useful
for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes.
Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the
assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake.
Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is. All of its
users are updated accordingly.
