DVFS doesn't use the device model in Linux (yet!) so there's no device
node and it's all a bit messy.  Shawn Guo is working on some generic DT
bindings for it which should solve that problem but for now in the
specific case of CPU bindings it's OK to not have an consumer, it's
understandable what's going on there.
