Subject: [PATCH 2/7] cpufreq: Retrieve current frequency from scaling drivers with internal governors

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@...il.com>

Scaling drivers that implement the cpufreq_driver.setpolicy() versus
the cpufreq_driver.target() interface do not set policy->cur.

Normally policy->cur is set during the call to cpufreq_driver.target()
when the frequnecy request is made by the governor.

If the scaling driver implements cpufreq_driver.setpolicy() and
cpufreq_driver.get() interfaces use cpufreq_driver.get() to retrieve
the current frequency.

cpufreq: balance out cpufreq_cpu_{get,put} for scaling drivers using setpolicy

There is an additional reference added to the driver in
cpufreq_add_dev()  that is removed in__cpufreq_governor() if the
driver implements target().  Remove the last reference when the
driver implements setpolicy()
