Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This framework provides a standard kernel interface for Dynamic Voltage and
|
|
Frequency Switching on arbitrary devices.
|
|
|
|
It exposes controls for adjusting frequency through sysfs files which are
|
|
similar to the cpufreq subsystem.
|
|
|
|
Devices for which current usage can be measured can have their frequency
|
|
automatically adjusted by governors.

API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Device drivers need to initialize a :c:type:`devfreq_profile` and call the
|
|
:c:func:`devfreq_add_device` function to create a :c:type:`devfreq` instance.
