Subject: [RFC V2 0/6] cpufreq: transition-latency cleanups

Hi Rafael,

Here is the V2 and sending it as RFC this time.

This series tries to cleanup the code around transition-latency and its
users.  Some of the old legacy code, which may not make much sense now,
is dropped as well.

Some code consolidation also done across governors.

Based of: pm/linux-next
Tested on: ARM64 Hikey board.

V1->V2:
- While we still get rid of the limitation of 10ms for using
  ondemand/conservative, but we preserve the earlier behavior where the
  transition latency set to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL would not allow use of
  ondemand/conservative governors. Thanks to Dominik for his feedback on
  that.

Viresh Kumar (6):
  cpufreq: Replace "max_transition_latency" with "dynamic_switching"
  cpufreq: schedutil: Set dynamic_switching to true
  cpufreq: governor: Drop min_sampling_rate
  cpufreq: Use transition_delay_us for legacy governors as well
  cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay value to 10 ms
  cpufreq: arm_big_little: Make ->get_transition_latency() mandatory
