The following series is based on: linux-next e083feb Merge branch 'acpi-next' into linux-next from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git In addition, this series depends on the following to apply cleanly: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1649621/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1663331/
This series allows the devfreq governors to be built as modules and switched on the fly using sysfs controls (inspired by cpufreq's ability to do the same).
