I guess implementing the idea may be not so obvious; thus, seperating
the patchset would be appropriate.

When we implement the idea, we may need to implement at the
pm_runtime core. Because devfreq->dev is a child of the target dev, not
a parent, runtime-pm event of the target dev does not automatically
invoke a cascaded action on the devfreq->dev.

Maybe either
1) capability to allow a child to monitor the power state of a parent
(I remember Inki Dae once suggested to add notifiers at runtime-pm, but
it seems to be not merged)
or
2) letting runtime-pm be aware of devfreq
(doesn't feel alright with this??)
is required?
