ARM CPU device tree nodes may contain an optional clock-frequency
property, when set, this property must contain the CPU frequency in Hz,
which is then used by the topology parsing code in
arch/arm/kernel/topology.c to infer the CPU capacity.
Document this property to avoid any possible confusion on the
clock-frequency unit.
