That link only describes why we shouldn't have a dedicated compatible
value for cpufreq. I certainly agree with that. However, I think it's
reasonable that whatever code binds to:

        compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";

... should instantiate any virtual devices that relate to the CPU.
But how would we know here if platform really wants us to probe
cpufreq-cpu0 driver? On multiplatform kernel there can be multiple
cpufreq drivers available and there has to be some sort of code
in DT or platform code that reflects which driver we want to use.
Presumably the code would look at the top-level DT node's compatible
value (e.g. "nvidia,tegra20").
