Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] PM / devfreq: cache the last call to get_dev_status()

The return value of get_dev_status() can be reused.  Cache it so that
other parts of the kernel can reuse it instead of having to call the
same function again.

Hi MyungJoo,
    
The patches in this series haven't changed from what you have in your
tree.  I'm only including them because they're not yet in mainline.
