Assuming device driver is using devfreq ondemand governor, when driver
detects idleness perhaps through runtime-pm, let driver set specific
frequency
and then suspend its devfreq. Also let driver resume its devfreq when device
is back online.

These new apis are not coupled with runtime-pm. Though runtime-pm is good
candidate for detecting idleness, drivers can have their own logic. So its
at
device drivers discretion when to call devfreq_suspend_device() and
devfreq_resume_device().

Yes, these apis are part of devfreq core. Core sends events to governors
for taking specific actions. Again, only governor knows what to do with
DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND and DEVFREQ_GOV_RESUME events.
For instance ondemand cancels/queues delayed work.
