I don't love this...  It seems like an hack.  Could we put a flag
somewhere instead?  Perhaps in scmi_device?  (I'm just saying that
because that's what we're passing to this function).

This means when creating scmi_device, a flag needs to be set which requires
to extend scmi_device_id to include a flag entry or else.

As below in scmi-cpufreq.c
{ SCMI_PROTOCOL_PERF, "cpufreq", SCMI_FWNODE_NO }

I am not sure Sudeep or Cristian are happy with the idea or not.

But back to the patch here, we are in the path creating the scmi_device and
cpufreq scmi device seems the only one that cause issue. So it should be
fine using this patch?

Thanks,
Peng
