Leonard Crestez 83ededdb72 docs: Add initial documentation for devfreq
The devfreq subsystem has plenty of kernel-doc comments but they're not
currently included in sphinx documentation.

Add a minimal devfreq.rst file which mostly just includes kernel-doc
comments from devfreq source. This also exposes a number of kernel-doc
warnings on `make htmldocs`

========================
Device Frequency Scaling
========================
Introduction
------------
This framework provides a standard kernel interface for Dynamic Voltage and
Frequency Switching on arbitrary devices.
It exposes controls for adjusting frequency through sysfs files which are
similar to the cpufreq subsystem.
Devices for which current usage can be measured can have their frequency
automatically adjusted by governors.
API
---
Device drivers need to initialize a :c:type:`devfreq_profile` and call the
:c:func:`devfreq_add_device` function to create a :c:type:`devfreq` instance.
