Hello MyungJoo,

This change appears to allow userspace to set min/max limits on
devfreq devices via sysfs.  Not everyone likes to expose this stuff
(similar to the discussions around controlling clocks from debugfs).

Should it be wrapped in some new config option?  I think a sane
default is that if the sysfs config option for devfreq is selected
then it should include all of the read-only stuff.  A second config
option (which depends on the option in my previous sentence) should
allow the read-write stuff to be enabled separately.  Thoughts?

Also, how are you using this feature in practice?  Is this just for
test or are you planning on more fine-grained control of device
frequencies from userspace?

Mike
