+dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table - cpufreq framework typically is initialized with
+ cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo which is provided with the list of
+ frequencies that are available for operation. This function provides
+ a ready to use conversion routine to translate the OPP layer's internal
+ information about the available frequencies into a format readily
+ providable to cpufreq.
+
+ WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context.
+
+ Example:
+ soc_pm_init()
+ {
+ /* Do things */
+ r = dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table(dev, &freq_table);
+ if (!r)
+ cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(policy, freq_table);
+ /* Do other things */
+ }
+
+ NOTE: This function is available only if CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is enabled in
+ addition to CONFIG_PM_OPP.
