Add device to the Energy Model framework. It will create a dedicated

The power model used in dev_pm_opp subsystem is simplified and created
based on DT 'dynamic-power-coefficient', volatage and frequency. It is
typo.
I'll fix it.
similar to the CPU model used in Energy Aware Scheduler.

Can't fail?
Yes, it can fail but the function does not return anything. It can
easily fail, it's looking for "dynamic-power-coefficient" in the device
node. The DT binding for the devfreq devices would also be good to add..
I would have to probably change it into returning 'int' and modify all
old cpufreq drivers.

Does it make sense to keep this (and the registration side) as
separate calls? Perhaps there's some ordering requirement with
everything between dev_pm_opp_of_add_table() and
dev_pm_opp_of_register_em()?
Yes, dev_pm_opp_of_register_em() uses em_data_callback which operates
on OPPs to calculate power values and costs, so the the OPP table should
be already there.
While you're just adding 2 lines, it seems there's a lot of complexity
exposed to the driver just to initialize devfreq/opp.
It depends, for example devfreq devices like buses would likely never
use the energy model. Potential clients would be GPUs, DSPs, ISPs.
Could you help me with defining a DT binding for this
"dynamic-power-coefficient" entry? It could be used in different types
of devices. Should it be placed in each of these devices documentation
file, or in some one common file?
Thank you for your comments.
Regards,
Lukasz
