Re-model Tegra cpufreq driver to support all Tegra series of SoCs.

* Make tegra-cpufreq.c a generic Tegra cpufreq driver.
* Move Tegra20 specific codes into tegra20-cpufreq.c.
* Bind Tegra cpufreq dirver with a fake device so defer probe would work
    when we're going to get regulator in the driver to support voltage
    scaling (DVFS).

Is there any/much shared code left in this file after this patch? It
seems like all this file does now is make each cpufreq callback function
call soc_config->the_same_function_name(). If so, wouldn't it be better
to simply implement completely separate tegar20-cpufreq and
tegra30-cpufreq drivers, and register them each directly with the
cpufreq core, to avoid this file doing all the indirection?

I think this file is needed since we can shared the registration and
probe logic for different SoCs.

But there's basically nothing in probe() already, and if we have a
separate driver for each SoC, then there's even less code; just a call
to devm_kzalloc() for the device-specific data (which will be
SoC-specific in size anyway), and a call to cpufreq_register_driver(). I
don't think it's worth sharing that if it means that every other
function needs to be an indirect function call.
OK that makes sense.

I think there are better ways of doing this than open-coding it. Perhaps
of_match_device() or the platform-driver equivalent could be made to
work?

Open coding is everywhere in OF helper functions actually. I doubt if we
can use of_match_device() if we're not adding node in DT.
If we're matching the platform device then we might need open coding, no?

For platform devices, you can set up the id_table of struct
platform_driver, and then simply call platform_get_device_id(pdev)
inside probe() to find the matching entry. drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-at91.c
is an example of how this works (just some random driver I found using
grep).
If we're going to have separate driver for each SoC, then we don't need platform_get_device_id(pdev) stuffs...

What I would like to do is creating platform cpufreq device with name "${root_compatible}-cpufreq" then each SoC cpufreq driver can bind to it, but the question is, which file is the best place to do this? Create a new file for this or use existing file like arch/arm/mach-tegra/tegra.c?

+int __init tegra_cpufreq_init(void)
+{
+    struct platform_device_info devinfo = { .name = "tegra-cpufreq", };
+
+    platform_device_register_full(&devinfo);
+
+    return 0;
   }
   EXPORT_SYMBOL(tegra_cpufreq_init);

Perhaps instead of hard-coding the name "tegra-cpufreq" here, you could
dynamically construct the device name based on the DT's root compatible
value, register "${root_compatible}-cpufreq", e.g.
"nvidia,tegra20-cpufreq" or "nvidia,tegra30-cpufreq". That would allow
the kernel's standard device/driver matching mechanism to pick the
correct driver to instantiate. Perhaps you could even dynamically
register an OF device so that you can use of_match_device() in probe, if

I guess what you meant dynamically register an OF device is registering
an fake OF device by calling of_device_add(), no? If yes then what
of_node should we give?

Yes. Good question about which node. I guess the root node would be the
only one that made any sense at all, and admittedly it doesn't make a
huge amount of sense. Perhaps registers a platform device rather than an
OF device would make more sense. See platform_device_register() I think.
