    Four cpufreq-like governors are provided as examples.
    
    powersave: use the lowest frequency possible. The user (device) should
    set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this governor.
    
    performance: use the highest freqeuncy possible. The user (device)
    should set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this
    governor.
    
    userspace: use the user specified frequency stored at
    devfreq.user_set_freq. With sysfs support in the following patch, a user
    may set the value with the sysfs interface.
    
    simple_ondemand: simplified version of cpufreq's ondemand governor.
    
    When a user updates OPP entries (enable/disable/add), OPP framework
    automatically notifies devfreq to update operating frequency
    accordingly. Thus, devfreq users (device drivers) do not need to update
    devfreq manually with OPP entry updates or set polling_ms for powersave
    , performance, userspace, or any other "static" governors.
    
    Note that these are given only as basic examples for governors and any
    devices with devfreq may implement their own governors with the drivers
    and use them.
