8*4882a593Smuzhiyun------------
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun
10*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis framework provides a standard kernel interface for Dynamic Voltage and
11*4882a593SmuzhiyunFrequency Switching on arbitrary devices.
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun
13*4882a593SmuzhiyunIt exposes controls for adjusting frequency through sysfs files which are
14*4882a593Smuzhiyunsimilar to the cpufreq subsystem.
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun
16*4882a593SmuzhiyunDevices for which current usage can be measured can have their frequency
17*4882a593Smuzhiyunautomatically adjusted by governors.

20*4882a593Smuzhiyun---
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593SmuzhiyunDevice drivers need to initialize a :c:type:`devfreq_profile` and call the
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun:c:func:`devfreq_add_device` function to create a :c:type:`devfreq` instance.
