 cpufreq table

Hi,

This isn't a very big patchset and this patch is very much required to
understand other patches and so please cc all people from other
list here as well..

Improve your logs a bit. Which dts file are you talking about here ?
How would anybody know that you are talking about exynos here?

Also, you shouldn't mention that here, just tell the kind of requirement
platforms may have. i.e. people may want to keep the opp list in the
same order in which it came from DT.

So, create three flags:
OPP_TABLE_ORDER_ASCENDING              0
OPP_TABLE_ORDER_DESCENDING            1
OPP_TABLE_ORDER_ORIGINAL                  2 (And use this for your case.)

You are changing prototype of a function and so all other files which are using
this routine will break after this patch and we can't afford it as we
want git bisect
to work properly.

So, fix all platforms here in this patch only, i.e. part of 2/3 and
complete 3/3 should
have been merged into this one.

You are targeting the wrong routine. Fix of_init_opp_table() instead and
things would work automatically then..

And please don't change prototype of dev_pm_opp_add() for now and
just define __dev_pm_opp_add() which will be called from
dev_pm_opp_add() and of_init_opp_table() with 'int order' parameter.
