This patch builds on "clk: notifier handler for dynamic voltage scaling"
by adding a CPUfreq-specific helper function for registering a clock
rate-change notifier to scale regulator voltage as a function of clock
rate.

In particular this patch creates an instance of struct
cpufreq_frequency_table and also calculate the voltage scaling latency,
both of which are returned to the caller for use in the CPUfreq driver.

As stage 1 of the transition, I dont have any complaints, but for SoC level, at least on OMAP, it is not just regulator and clock, we have additional tweaks to do - like ABB, AVS etc.

What would you suggest as the strategy to introduce SoC specific handlers for voltage notifiers that can co-exist with this?

for example - we should not depend on cpufreq in a generic clock based dvfs approach. we would like to allow devfreq also to transition to this.
