[PATCH] PM / devfreq: Init user limits from OPP limits, not viceversa

[PATCH] PM / devfreq: Init user limits from OPP limits, not viceversa

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

Commit ab8f58ad72c4 ("PM / devfreq: Set min/max_freq when adding
the devfreq device") introduced the initialization of the user
limits min/max_freq from the lowest/highest available OPPs. Later
commit f1d981eaecf8 ("PM / devfreq: Use the available min/max
frequency") added scaling_min/max_freq, which actually represent
the frequencies of the lowest/highest available OPP. scaling_min/
max_freq are initialized with the values from min/max_freq, which
is totally correct in the context, but a bit awkward to read.

Swap the initialization and assign scaling_min/max_freq with the
OPP freqs and then the user limts min/max_freq with scaling_min/
max_freq.

Needless to say that this change is a NOP, intended to improve
readability.

Additional context: I'm considering to introduce the concept of
a devfreq policy, which would probably move min/max_freq inside
of a struct policy, this would make the initialization even
more awkward to read. If this moves forward I might also propose
to rename scaling_min/max_freq to something like min/max_opp_freq
to avoid confusion with the frequencies in the policy (cpufreq uses
scaling_min/max_freq for the sysfs attributes of the policy
limits).

This patch just clean-up codes related to min/max_freq and scaling_min/max_freq.
It seems be good.

But, I don't want to change the name from 'scaling_min/max_freq'
to 'min/max_opp_freq'. You can check the meaning of variables
in comment of struct devfreq.

Thanks for the review!

It's obviously up to you in the end, and I won't insist if you are
convinced that scaling_min/max_freq is the better name (I suggest to
make this judgement after a new revision of the policy patch [1],
which likely will introduce another pair of frequencies, and naming
can help to clearly differentiate between them).

This is true, but ideally code should be as self-explaining as
possible (without becoming too verbose ;-), and variable/function
names are a key element for that.

I don't want to use the framework name for specific variable.
