#1348796 — [PATCH] cpufreq: acpi: Allow new dynamics attributes to be added to acpi_cpufreq_attr

acpi_cpufreq_attr contains at least one dynamically populated (removed)
attribute today, cpb. But the code isn't friendly enough for new
attributes to be populated in a similar way.

Make some changes to allow new attributes to be easily added to the
struct.

Srinivas,

This should make it easy for you to add another dynamic entry into the
acpi_cpufreq_attr structure.

OK, this makes sense.

The table definition starts to look somewhat ugly with all of those
NULLs at the end, but then adding the base_frequency thing to it would
be easy.

Srinivas, can you please take this and rebase your patch on top of it?
 Or if you prefer, I can take it into my linux-next branch.

Thanks,
Rafael
