Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/11] Simple QoS for exynos-bus driver using

The following patchset adds interconnect[1][2] framework support to the
exynos-bus devfreq driver. Extending the devfreq driver with interconnect
capabilities started as a response to the issue referenced in [3]. The
patches can be subdivided into four logical groups:

(a) Refactoring the existing devfreq driver in order to improve readability
and accommodate for adding new code (patches 01--04/11).

(b) Tweaking the interconnect framework to support the exynos-bus use case
(patches 05--07/11). Exporting of_icc_get_from_provider() allows us to
avoid hardcoding every single graph edge in the DT or driver source, and
relaxing the requirement contained in that function removes the need to
provide dummy node IDs in the DT. Adjusting the logic in
apply_constraints() (drivers/interconnect/core.c) accounts for the fact
that every bus is a separate entity and therefore a separate interconnect
provider, albeit constituting a part of a larger hierarchy.

(c) Implementing interconnect providers in the exynos-bus devfreq driver
and adding required DT properties for one selected platform, namely
Exynos4412 (patches 08--09/11). Due to the fact that this aims to be a
generic driver for various Exynos SoCs, node IDs are generated dynamically
rather than hardcoded. This has been determined to be a simpler approach,
but depends on changes described in (b).

(d) Implementing a sample interconnect consumer for exynos-mixer targeted
at the issue referenced in [3], again with DT info only for Exynos4412
(patches 10--11/11).

Integration of devfreq and interconnect functionalities comes down to one
extra line in the devfreq target() callback, which selects either the
frequency calculated by the devfreq governor, or the one requested with the
interconnect API, whichever is higher. All new code works equally well when
CONFIG_INTERCONNECT is 'n' (as in exynos_defconfig) in which case all
interconnect API functions are no-ops.
