DEVFREQ supports the default governors like performance, simple_ondemand and
also allows the devfreq driver to add their own governor like tegra30-devfreq.c
according to their requirement. In result, some sysfs attributes are useful
or not useful. Prior to that the user can access all sysfs attributes
regardless of the available attributes.
So, clarify the access permission of sysfs attributes according to governor.
When adding the devfreq governor, can specify the available attribute
information by using DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_* constant variable. The user can
read or write the sysfs attributes in accordance to the specified attributes.
When adding the governor, can add the following attributes
according to the governor feature.
[Definition for speific sysfs attributes]
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_POLLING_INTERVAL to update polling interval for timer.
: /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/polling_interval
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_TIMER to change the type of timer on either deferrable
or dealyed timer.
: /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/timer
And all devfreq governors have to support the following common attributes.
The common attributes are added to devfreq class by default.
- governor
- available_governors
- available_frequencies
- cur_freq
- target_freq
- min_freq
- max_freq
- trans_stat

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
