Subject: [PATCH 0/7] devfreq: improve devfreq statistics counting

Hi,

this patch series improves devfreq statistics:

- do conversion to use 64-bit jiffies for storing elapsed time and prevent counters
  overflow,

- add ability to reset statistics using sysfs,

- move statistics data to separate structure for improved code
  readability and maintenance,

- make devfreq statistics code more similar to cpufreq statistics
  code for improved long-term maintainability

The first four patches fix time stats to use 64-bits, add spinlock for protecting data
access, add new function in sysfs for clearing statistics counters and change var name
used in time counters. Remaining patches make steps to moving stats into separate
structure devfreq_stats.

Best regards,
