The devfreq monitor depends on the device to provide load information
by .get_dev_status() to calculate the next target freq.

And this will cause changing governor to simple ondemand fail
if device can't support.

Again, I think that get_dev_status is not used for all governors.
So that it cause the governor start fail. Don't check whether
.get_dev_status is NULL or not.

I can add error check for tegra in the next versions.

I'm not quite understand your point.
it is used by governor_simpleondemand.c and tegra_devfreq_governor.
get_target_freq -> devfreq_update_stats -> get_dev_status

Without checking, device can switch to ondemand governor if it does not support.

Am i missed something?

The devfreq can add the new governor by anyone.
So these functions like devfreq_monitor_* have to support 
the governors and also must support the governor to be added
in the future.

Yes, but devfreq_monitor_* is only used by polling mode, right?
The governor using it has to implement get_dev_status unless
there's an exception in the future.

Currently this patch wants to address the issue that user can switch
to ondemand governor (polling mode) by sysfs even devices does
not support it (no get_dev_status implemented).

As I commented, I'll fix this issue. If devfreq driver doesn't implement
the .get_dev_status, don't show it via available_governors. I think that
it is fundamental solution to fix this issue. So on this version,
don't add the this conditional statement on this function

And on next version, please use the capital letter for first character
on patch title as following:

- PM / devfreq: Check get_dev_status before start monitor

Sounds good

Almost all this patch did is adding a checking for get_dev_status.
So do you mean drop this patch?
I wonder it's still a necessary checking to explicitly tell devfreq monitor
users that get_dev_status is needed during governor startup.

I think that the it is enough to check .get_dev_status in
devfreq_update_stats. We have to check it on where it is used.

I think the drawback of only checking .get_dev_status in
devfreq_update_stats is:
1. devfreq will still register successfully and ondemand governor starts ok
2. ondemand governor will still be shown in sysfs which is something
you want to fix
3. devfreq will end up printing endless error messages in devfreq_monitor worker
    "dvfs failed with (%d) error" as the possible missing .get_dev_status

So i wonder if you don't like changing the common devfreq_monitor_start in order
to make it look common for all governors, then we probably still need
to fix it in
ondemand governor in order to avoid the possible above issues.

static int devfreq_simple_ondemand_handler(struct devfreq *devfreq,
                                unsigned int event, void *data)
{
        switch (event) {
        case DEVFREQ_GOV_START:
                if (!devfreq->profile->get_dev_status)
                        return -EINVAL;

                return devfreq_monitor_start(devfreq);
...
}

How do you think?

Any feedback?

I'm waiting for your confirmation whether dropping this one,
then I can re-sent the series.

I think that devfreq_monitor_start have to handle only work instance.
This approach is too considering the deep check list.
I want to resolve this periodical error log with different solution.

Actually, we have to reject the registration of devfreq device
when calling devfreq_add_device instead of checking .get_dev_status
in devfreq_monitor_start().

I'll reject the registration of devfreq device if the mandatory
function pointer of struct devfreq_dev_profile are not initialized.
- .get_dev_status
   If some governors like simple_ondemand, have to initialize it.
   So, I need to add the new flag to specify this feature.
- .target is mandatory for all devfreq devices. I'll check it.

Okay, thanks
Then i will drop this patch and resend series with your other comments
addressed.
