Moving handling of min/max freq to a single function and call it from
update_devfreq and for printing min/max freq values in sysfs.

This changes the behavior of out-of-range min_freq/max_freq: clamping
is now done at evaluation time. This means that if an out-of-range
constraint is imposed by sysfs and it later becomes valid then it will
be enforced.

It is not used on this patch. If it is used on later patch,
move it to other patch.

This function is used in the only devfreq core.
I think that the internal function doesn't need to add 'devfreq' prefix.
Also, when I developed the patches, I didn't use 'devfreq' prefix
for internal function.

I think that the comments in the devfreq_get_freq_range(),
it is not necessary. But if you think that it is necessary,
please add more detailed description like as following:

	/*
	 * The devfreq recommend that freq_table must be generated
	 * in ascending order but, some devfreq driver used the descending order
	 * for freq_table. In order to support all cases, check the order
	 * of freq_table and then initialize the min/max frequency from freq_table.
	 */

ditto. Need to add more detailed comment by keeping the comment style of devfreq.

ditto.

It is not necessary. We can know that min_freq have to be
under max_freq without any comment.

This does not appear to a clear convention, there are other internal 
functions with a devfreq prefix. I usually keep prefixes always but it 
does result in extra verbosity.

OK. Not strictly related to this series: wouldn't it make sense to just 
fix the drivers? In linux kernel API compatibility hacks are usually 
avoided.

What comment style, capitalization and punctuation? This is similar to 
the rest of the file.

This is a deliberate change introduced by this patch: instead of 
ensuring min_freq <= max_freq at sysfs write time we make min_freq take 
precedence at evaluation time.

With PM QoS there is no way to ensure that the value coming through 
DEV_PM_QOS_MIN_FREQ is less than through DEV_PM_QOS_MAX_FREQ.

This is documented in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-devfreq but 
not immediately obvious. Setting max to "zero" could have meant "min 
possible" instead of "don't care".
