No, the DEVFREQ governors are tuneable per-device basis. At least,
SIMPLE-ONDEMAND governor is capable of doing so. (just not did so in
the example code) I'll add an example in the last paragraph.


Although sysfs control for governors is not yet implemented--I guess
it may wait for later versions as it does not look critical--, in this
patchset v6, the governors are tuneable per device. Per-device data is
stored at struct devfreq and struct devfreq_dev_profile, not in struct
devfreq_governor. Governors can alter its behavior based on the
"devfreq.data" and save per-device information (if any) to
"devfreq.data". The "data" field of devfreq may be defined by each
governor.

The example code of Exynos4210-Memory-Bus does not tune the tuneable
value, but simply uses the default value.

However, in order to use custom values, we can use devfreq_add_device
with the custom values supplied.

In the example code (exynos4210_memorybus.c), it does:
     err = devfreq_add_device(dev, &exynos4_devfreq_profile, default_gov,
                                          NULL);
at line 502-503.

If we are going to use custom values, we can modify that as:
     struct devfreq_simple_ondemand_data tuneit = { .upthreshold = 80,
.downdifferential = 10, };
     err = devfreq_add_device(dev, &exynos4_devfreq_profile,
default_gov, &tuneit);

And, the device can update "tuneit" in run-time to alter the behavior.




Cheers!
