scsi: ufs: core: Add soft dependency on governor_simpleondemand
[ Upstream commit 2ebe16155dc8bd4e602cad5b5f65458d2eaa1a75 ]
The ufshcd driver uses simpleondemand governor for devfreq. Add it to the
list of ufshcd softdeps to allow userspace initramfs tools like dracut to
automatically pull the governor module into the initramfs together with UFS
drivers.
