Devfreq is a SW mechanism, it should not be part of bindings description.

Since the file does not exist, I have troubles reviewing it. First of
all, you already have "mediatek,cci-control" property in DT, so why
using different name?

Second, it looks like you want to put devfreq into bindings instead of
using proper interconnect bindings.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
