devfreq

          A device may have a list of frequencies and voltages available.
          devfreq, a generic DVFS framework can be registered for a device
          in order to let the governor provided to devfreq choose an
          operating frequency based on the device driver's policy.

          Each device may have its own governor and policy. Devfreq can
          reevaluate the device state periodically and/or based on the
          notification to "nb", a notifier block, of devfreq.

          Like some CPUs with CPUfreq, a device may have multiple clocks.
          However, because the clock frequencies of a single device are
          determined by the single device's state, an instance of devfreq
          is attached to a single device and returns a "representative"
          clock frequency of the device, which is also attached
          to a device by 1-to-1. The device registering devfreq takes the
          responsiblity to "interpret" the representative frequency and
          to set its every clock accordingly with the "target" callback
          given to devfreq.

power management 的手段： freq scale , clk gate , power gate , power off

要实现每个设备独立的控制自己的freq, samsung实现了 devfreq驱动来完成。
