   4 Description:
   5                 Provide a place in sysfs for the devfreq objects.
   6                 This allows accessing various devfreq specific variables.
   7                 The name of devfreq object denoted as ... is same as the
   8                 name of device using devfreq.

  25 Date:           September 2011
  26 Contact:        MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
  27 Description:
  28                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../cur_freq shows the current
  29                 frequency of the corresponding devfreq object. Same as
  30                 target_freq when get_cur_freq() is not implemented by
  31                 devfreq driver.

  33 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../target_freq
  34 Date:           September 2012
  35 Contact:        Rajagopal Venkat <rajagopal.venkat@linaro.org>
  36 Description:
  37                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../target_freq shows the next governor
  38                 predicted target frequency of the corresponding devfreq object.

  40 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../polling_interval
  41 Date:           September 2011
  42 Contact:        MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
  43 Description:
  44                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../polling_interval shows and sets
  45                 the requested polling interval of the corresponding devfreq
  46                 object. The values are represented in ms. If the value is
  47                 less than 1 jiffy, it is considered to be 0, which means
  48                 no polling. This value is meaningless if the governor is
  49                 not polling; thus. If the governor is not using
  50                 devfreq-provided central polling
  51                 (/sys/class/devfreq/.../central_polling is 0), this value
  52                 may be useless.

  54 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../trans_stat
  55 Date:           October 2012
  56 Contact:        MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
  57 Description:
  58                 This ABI shows or clears the statistics of devfreq behavior
  59                 on a specific device. It shows the time spent in each state
  60                 and the number of transitions between states.
  61                 In order to activate this ABI, the devfreq target device
  62                 driver should provide the list of available frequencies
  63                 with its profile. If need to reset the statistics of devfreq
  64                 behavior on a specific device, enter 0(zero) to 'trans_stat'
  65                 as following:
  66                         echo 0 > /sys/class/devfreq/.../trans_stat

  68 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../userspace/set_freq
  69 Date:           September 2011
  70 Contact:        MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
  71 Description:
  72                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../userspace/set_freq shows and
  73                 sets the requested frequency for the devfreq object if
  74                 userspace governor is in effect.

  76 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_frequencies
  77 Date:           October 2012
  78 Contact:        Nishanth Menon <nm@ti.com>
  79 Description:
  80                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_frequencies shows
  81                 the available frequencies of the corresponding devfreq object.
  82                 This is a snapshot of available frequencies and not limited
  83                 by the min/max frequency restrictions.
  84
  85 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_governors
  86 Date:           October 2012
  87 Contact:        Nishanth Menon <nm@ti.com>
  88 Description:
  89                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../available_governors shows
  90                 currently available governors in the system.
  91
  92 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../min_freq
  93 Date:           January 2013
  94 Contact:        MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
  95 Description:
  96                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../min_freq shows and stores
  97                 the minimum frequency requested by users. It is 0 if
  98                 the user does not care. min_freq overrides the
  99                 frequency requested by governors.
 100
 101 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../max_freq
 102 Date:           January 2013
 103 Contact:        MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>
 104 Description:
 105                 The /sys/class/devfreq/.../max_freq shows and stores
 106                 the maximum frequency requested by users. It is 0 if
 107                 the user does not care. max_freq overrides the
 108                 frequency requested by governors and min_freq.
 109                 The max_freq overrides min_freq because max_freq may be
 110                 used to throttle devices to avoid overheating.

 112 What:           /sys/class/devfreq/.../timer
 113 Date:           July 2020
 114 Contact:        Chanwoo Choi <cw00.choi@samsung.com>
 115 Description:
 116                 This ABI shows and stores the kind of work timer by users.
 117                 This work timer is used by devfreq workqueue in order to
 118                 monitor the device status such as utilization. The user
 119                 can change the work timer on runtime according to their demand
 120                 as following:
 121                         echo deferrable > /sys/class/devfreq/.../timer
 122                         echo delayed > /sys/class/devfreq/.../timer
