Ok. I'll let it say "Null or invalid device" as it's IS_ERR_OR_NULL.

Yes, it is global and it's declared at include/linux/kobject.h.

I've put it at /sys/power because these attributes are global to every
device with devfreq.
Anyway, if you think that's a weird location for it, could you please
give me some hints on where would be proper to locate system-wide
devfreq sysfs attributes?
Or, do you think kernel/power/devfreq.c would be a proper location for devfreq?
Or, what about allowing every /sys/devices/.../devfreq/global/* to be
the same "global" attributes of devfreq?

These two changes are for the sysfs interface as counting number of
tickle is added with sysfs interface.
