+========================
+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.
