Hi Andrew-sh.Cheng,
Thanks for your posting. I like this approach absolutely.
I think that it is necessary. When I developed the embedded product,
I needed this feature always.
I add the comments on below.
And the following email is not valid. So, I dropped this email
from Cc list.

Better to define them separately as following and then need to rename
the variable. Usually, use the 'min_freq' and 'max_freq' word for
the minimum/maximum frequency.
unsigned int cpu_min_freq, cpu_max_freq, cpu_curr_freq, cpu_percent;
unsigned long dev_min_freq, dev_max_freq, dev_max_state,
The devfreq used 'unsigned long'. The cpufreq used 'unsigned long'
and 'unsigned int'. You need to handle them properly.

In this function, use 'cpu' work for cpufreq and use 'dev' for devfreq.
So, I think 'dev_freq_table' is proper name instead of 'freq_table'
for the readability.
freq_table -> dev_freq_table
> + struct dev_pm_opp *opp = NULL, *cpu_opp = NULL;
In the get_target_freq_with_devfreq(), use 'p_opp' indicating
the OPP of parent device. For the consistency, I think that
use 'p_opp' instead of 'cpu_opp'.
> + unsigned long cpu_freq, freq;
Define the 'cpu_freq' on above with cpu_min_freq/cpu_max_freq definition.
cpu_freq -> cpu_curr_freq.

Better to add the 'out' goto statement.
If you use 'goto out', you can reduce the one indentation
without 'else' statement.
> + } else {
As I commented, when dev_pm_opp_xlate_required_opp() return successfully
, use 'goto out'. We can remove 'else' and then reduce the unneeded indentation.

I think it is not proper to access the variable of pm_qos structure directly.
Instead of direct access, you have to use the exported PM QoS function such as
- pm_qos_read_value(devfreq->dev.parent, DEV_PM_QOS_MIN_FREQUENCY);
- pm_qos_read_value(devfreq->dev.parent, DEV_PM_QOS_MAX_FREQUENCY);

I think that you better to add 'out' jump label as following:

How about changing 'freq' to 'cpu_freqs'?
In the drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c, use 'freqs' name indicating
the instance of 'struct cpufreq_freqs'. And in order to
identfy, how about adding 'cpu_' prefix for variable name?
> + unsigned int current_freq;
Need to define curr_freq with 'unsigned long' type
and better to use 'curr_freq' variable name.

cpufreq_cpu_get() might return 'NULL'. I think you need to handle
return value as following:
if (!policy) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out;
} else if (PTR_ERR(policy) == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
goto out;
} else if (IS_ERR(policy) {
ret = PTR_ERR(policy);
dev_err(dev, "Couldn't get the cpufreq_poliy.\n");
goto out;
}
If cpufreq_cpu_get() return successfully, to do next.
It reduces the one indentaion.

If you modify the devfreq_passive_event_handler() as following,
you can move this condition for DEVFREQ_PARENT_DEV into
(register|unregister)_parent_dev_notifier.
switch (event) {
case DEVFREQ_GOV_START:
ret = register_parent_dev_notifier(p_data);
break;
case DEVFREQ_GOV_STOP:

I think that we better to collect the code related to notifier registration
into one function like devfreq_pass_register_notifier() instead of
cpufreq_passive_register() as following: I think it is more simple and readable.
If you have more proper function name of register_parent_dev_notifier,
please give your opinion.
int register_parent_dev_notifier(struct devfreq_passive_data **p_data)

devfreq_cpu_state is only handled by within driver/devfreq/governor_passive.c.
So, you can move it into drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c
and just add the definition into include/linux/devfreq.h as following:
It is able to prevent the access of variable of 'struct devfreq_cpu_state'
outside.

But, actually, it is not related to this patch like clean-up code.
