This patch adds debugfs node to measure transition of frequency on runtime.
It will be creted under '/sys/kernel/debugfs/devfreq/'dev name'/' as the name
of 'trans_table'. It contains number of transition of each frequency level,
time spent on each level, and also total transition count.
It inspired by CPUFREQ's cpufreq_stats method.
<Example of table>
=================================================================================
<freq level #1> <freq level #2> <freq level #3> time spent
* <freq level #1> n12 n13 t1
<freq level #2> n21 n23 t2
<freq level #3> n31 n32 t3
Total transition : N (= n12 + n13 + n21 + n23 + n31 + n32)
==================================================================================
(n12 : Number of transition from level 1 to level 2)
('*' : The last changed frequency when you inspect the node.)
This patch also includes documentation.

+DEVFREQ Transition status table
+=========================================
+
+Copyright (C) 2012 Samsung Electronics
+
+Written by Jonghwa Lee <[email protected]>
+
+1. Description
+----------------
+
+DEVFREQ Transition status table represents all of transition information up to now. Transition information
+includes number of transition which has been occured and time spent on the each of frequencies.
+This implementation is ispired by CPUFREQ's cpufreq_stats method.
+
+<Example of table>
+============================================================================================================
+ <freq level #1> <freq level #2> <freq level #3> time spent
+
+* <freq level #1> Number of transition Number of transition t1
+ from freq1 to freq2 from freq1 to freq3
+
+ <freq level #2> Number of transition Number of transition t2
+ from freq2 to freq1 from freq2 to freq3
+
+ <freq level #3> Number of transition Number of transition t3
+ from freq3 to freq1 from freq3 to freq2
+
+Total transition : N
+=============================================================================================================
+('*' : The last changed frequency when you inspect the node.)
+
+It may be used for measuring performance or debug use.
+
+
+2. Requirement to use
+-----------------------
+
+There is no kernel configuration option for creating this node at this moment. Only CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is required.
+It will be created automatically when devfreq device created successfully.
+(under /sys/kernel/debug/devfreq/'each devfreq device name'/ by the name of 'trans_table'.)
+
+By the way, it's going to show nothing unless you go through the below steps.
+To show appropriate information about frequency transition, each devfreq device must hand over their own list of
+available frequency and total count of frequency levels to the framework. Because at the devfreq core side,
+system doesn't know how many freqeuncy levels are available and what value of each level exactly is.
+In devfreq_dev_profile structure, freq_list and freq_levs will play the role carrying the those requirement data.
+
+To guarantee trans_table working, following two steps are required.
+(1) Initialize the freq_list of devfreq_dev_profile with all available freqeuncy data
+(2) Initialize the freq_levs of devfreq_dev_profile with total number of available freqeuncy level.
+
+3. Guage performance
+----------------------
+
+This program is user space program that measures the frequency transition during the certain interval you set.
+When the program starts, it parses the trans_table contents and stores it for later comparison at the end.
+And when you stop the gauging, the program will calculate transition information happened during the interval given.
+The result is also formed like transition status table. However it can be used for more specific purpose and usefully
+than trans_table itself. By analyzing its data, we can get an indicator of performance of various situations or
+performance of governor and others also.
+
+HOW TO USE
+-----------
+1. Set the device name correctly in the code to the variable 'dev_name[]' before the compile.
+ This will be used to get the path of debugfs node. (Default is 'exynos4412-busfreq').
+2. Run the program, and you'll see comments of '### Press any key to start, 'q' to exit >>' or error massage.
+3. Input any key then it starts measurement with comments 'Gauging start...' and '### Press any key....'.
+4. Press any key again. It shows the result of measurement directly.
+5. Program will repeat step 2.
