Any platform that supports device tree (DT) will be able to use the
driver.  Right now, I have seen imx6q, AM35xx and highbank start using
the driver.

That depends on when OMAP gets fully converted to DT.  OMAP is in the
middle of the DT transition right now.  There are in-tree users of
omap-cpufreq driver that does not support DT (board files).  Before
the DT conversion is fully done (all those non-DT board files gets
removed), the omap-cpufreq driver still needs to be for a while.
