Looking into this further, I'm not sure I like the idea of doing this in 
the clocks driver. There might be locking issues since it gets 
instantiated twice and yet doesn't really itself know what subset of 
CPUs it applies to.

There's another driver that does this: 
drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-psci-domain.c. That one specifically looks for a 
power domain called "psci". Perhaps it would make sense to make this 
generic in cpufreq-dt as per my prior patch, but explicitly request a 
"cpufreq" domain? That way only devicetrees that opt in to having this 
handled by cpufreq by naming it that way would get this behavior.
