Obviously, there are no users of this callback in the tree right now, so it may not be regarded as a fix.

But the ondemand governor can suggest any frequency between min and max(assuming policy is set). As per design, governors only need to provide recommended frequency and the corresponding driver will interpret it correctly. So, the governor recommended frequency and the frequency at which device is running could be different.

Devfreq returns governor predicted frequency as current frequency via sysfs interface. But device may not support all frequencies that governor predicts. Its driver responsibility to maintain current frequency at which device is operating. Add a callback in device profile to fix this. Also add a new sysfs node to expose governor predicted next target frequency.
