Yes, but devfreq_monitor_* is only used by polling mode, right?
The governor using it has to implement get_dev_status unless
there's an exception in the future.
Currently this patch wants to address the issue that user can switch
to ondemand governor (polling mode) by sysfs even devices does
not support it (no get_dev_status implemented).
