On some SoCs the Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) technique is employed to optimize the operating voltage of a device. At a given frequency, the hardware monitors dynamic factors and either makes a suggestion for how much to adjust a voltage for the current frequency, or it automatically adjusts the voltage without software intervention. Add an API to the OPP library for the former case, so that AVS type devices can update the voltages for an OPP when the hardware determines the voltage should change. The assumption is that drivers like CPUfreq or devfreq will register for the OPP notifiers and adjust the voltage according to suggestions that AVS makes. This patch is derived from [1] submitted by Stephen.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
