PM / devfreq: Add sysfs node to expose available frequencies
devfreq governors such as ondemand are controlled by a min and max frequency, while governors like userspace governor allow us to set a specific frequency. However, for the same specific device, depending on the SoC, the available frequencies can vary. So expose the available frequencies as a snapshot over sysfs to allow informed decisions. This was inspired by cpufreq framework's equivalent for similar usage sysfs node: scaling_available_frequencies.
