MyungJo, I am trying to understand the relationship of PM QOS with
devfreq drivers. I don't see any relation of PM QOS api's with devfreq drivers
directly as there are no QOS apis used in the devfreq framework.
The only explanation I have is that PM QOS has direct relationship
with CPUFREQ driver and as CPUFREQ driver works with CPU
frequency and that CPU frequency directly affects DEVFREQ drivers
as devfreq driver maps CPU frequency to device frequency and
that is why PM QOS doesn’t have direct relation with PM QOS.
Is my understanding right?
