This patch adds NoC (Network on Chip) Probe driver which provides
the primitive values to get the performance data. The packets that the Network
on Chip (NoC) probes detects are transported over the network infrastructure.
Exynos542x bus has multiple NoC probes to provide bandwidth information about
behavior of the SoC that you can use while analyzing system performance.

This patch adds the support for PPMU (Platform Performance Monitoring Unit)
version 2.0 for Exynos5433 SoC. Exynos5433 SoC must need PPMUv2 which is
quite different from PPMUv1.1. The exynos-ppmu.c driver supports both PPMUv1.1
and PPMUv2.

This patch adds the const keyword for devfreq_event_ops structure
because the ops of devfreq_event_desc structure should not be changed
after initialization.

There is a typo here so we test "edev" but we intended to test
"edev[i]".

This patch adds a new class in devfreq, devfreq_event, which provides
raw data (e.g., memory bus utilization, GPU utilization) for devfreq
governors.
- devfreq_event device : Provides raw data for a governor of a devfreq device
- devfreq device : Monitors device state and changes frequency/voltage
of the device using the raw data from its
devfreq_event device.
A devfreq device dertermines performance states (normally the frequency
and the voltage vlues) based on the results its designtated devfreq governor:
e.g., ondemand, performance, powersave.
In order to give such results required by a devfreq device, the devfreq
governor requires data that indicates the performance requirement given
to the devfreq device. The conventional (previous) implementatino of
devfreq subsystem requires a devfreq device driver to implement its own
mechanism to acquire performance requirement for its governor. However,
there had been issues with such requirements:
1. Although performance requirement of such devices is usually acquired
from common devices (PMU/PPMU), we do not have any abstract structure to
represent them properly.
2. Such performance requirement devices (PMU/PPMU) are actual hardware
pieces that may be represented by Device Tree directly while devfreq device
itself is a virtual entity that are not considered to be represented by
Device Tree according to Device Tree folks.
In order to address such issues, a devferq_event device (represented by
this patch) provides a template for device drivers representing
performance monitoring unit, which gives the basic or raw data for
preformance requirement, which in turn, is required by devfreq governors.
The following description explains the feature of two kind of devfreq class:
- devfreq class (existing)
: devfreq consumer device use raw data from devfreq_event device for
determining proper current system state and change voltage/frequency
dynamically using various governors.
- devfreq_event class (new)
: Provide measured raw data to devfreq device for governor
