[RFC 3/9] cpufreq: Add dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu policy flag

Show all headers | View raw

On many platforms any CPU (from any cpufreq policy) can perform DVFS on
behalf of other CPUs. Add a flag to identify such cpufreq policies.

Also enable it for cpufreq-dt driver which is used only on ARM platforms
currently.
