nice catch. I somehow missed modifying this section.
I think the following changes should fix this,
-                       if (!strncmp("Processor", cdev->type,
-                                    sizeof("Processor")))
+                       if (!strncmp("thermal-cpufreq", cdev->type,
+                                    sizeof("thermal-cpufreq")))
                                thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device(tz,
