Subject: [for-next PATCH V2] PM / devfreq: Add sysfs node to expose available frequencies

devfreq governors such as ondemand are controlled by a min and
max frequency, while governors like userspace governor allow us
to set a specific frequency.
However, for the same specific device, depending on the SoC, the
available frequencies can vary.

So expose the available frequencies as a snapshot over sysfs to
allow informed decisions.

This was inspired by cpufreq framework's equivalent for similar
usage sysfs node: scaling_available_frequencies.

260000000-520000000-660000000

V2 :
	- review comment update from v1
	- protected the sysfs from buffer overflow - just in case..
