[Lima] [RFC v1 0/1] drm: lima: devfreq and cooling device support

[Qiang Yu]

Thanks for adding this.

As the license, it's up to you, I think it's OK for now.

For the code, I think you may need some lock to protect the time records as
there are two kernel threads gp/pp will try to mark GPU busy and several
interrupts try to mark GPU idle.

Regards,
Qiang
