Douglas Anderson, recently pointed out an interesting problem due to which udelay() was expiring earlier than it should. While transitioning between frequencies few platforms may temporarily switch to a stable frequency, waiting for the main PLL to stabilize. For example: When we transition between very low frequencies on exynos, like between 200MHz and 300MHz, we may temporarily switch to a PLL running at 800MHz. No CPUFREQ notification is sent for that. That means there's a period of time when we're running at 800MHz but loops_per_jiffy is calibrated at between 200MHz and 300MHz. And so udelay behaves badly. To get this fixed in a generic way, introduce another set of callbacks get_intermediate() and target_intermediate(), only for drivers with target_index() and CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION unset. get_intermediate() should return a stable intermediate frequency platform wants to switch to, and target_intermediate() should set CPU to that frequency, before jumping to the frequency corresponding to 'index'. Core will take care of sending notifications and driver doesn't have to handle them in target_intermediate() or target_index(). NOTE: ->target_index() should restore to policy->restore_freq in case of failures as core would send notifications for that.
