I misread your mail.. I got the problem now.. Below should fix your
issue (It is rebased on the patch I pointed to you earlier):

Attached too for testing as gmail copy-paste will break it.

@Rafael: Once Rob gives his Tested-by, please queue it for 3.10-rcs

Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: arm_big_little_dt: Instantiate as platform_driver

As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms, initcall
function should be used very carefully. For example, when both arm_big_little_dt
and cpufreq-cpu0 drivers are compiled in, arm_big_little_dt driver may try to
register even if we had platform device for cpufreq-cpu0 registered.

To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes arm_big_little_dt
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver. Then it will only run on
platforms that create the platform_device "arm-bL-cpufreq-dt".
