Oh yes I misunderstand your origin point, but my thought is using
existing devfreq framework as frequency/voltage policy driver instead of
creating another one in clock driver and that's why I think we need the
notifier work.

By the way, some centralized DVFS implementation like Tegra's VDD_CORE
rail has association with tens of clocks which will need to be taken
care specially if we're doing those in clock driver I think.
