Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/9] Add CPU based scaling support to Passive governor

This RFC series aims to add cpu based scaling support to the passive
governor and scale DDR with a generic interconnect bandwidth based
devfreq driver on SDM845 SoC. This series achieves similar functionality
to Georgi's Patch series (https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10850817/)
and can be used with MSM8916/MSM8996/QCS404 SoCs.

[patches 1,6 - Add and export export helpers to get avg/peak bandwidth and
 update voltage of an disabled opp respectively]

[patch 3 - Adds cpu based scaling support to passive governor]
To achieve this, it listens to CPU frequency transition notifiers
to keep itself up to date on the current CPU frequency.
To decide the frequency of the device, the governor depends one of
the following:
* Constructs a CPU frequency to device frequency mapping table from
  required-opps property of the devfreq device's opp_table
* Scales the device frequency in proportion to the CPU frequency by
  performing interpolation.

[patch 7 - Parses and updates opps from the frequency/voltage read from
 the look up tables]

The patch series depends on opp-bw-MBs bindings introduced in:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10850817/
