Thanks for your test.

I'll remove <mach/*>.
But are you sure clk DT binding has went to -next or -rc? If yes,
I'm glad to use it. If no, I don't want to pend on it.

CPUFREQ_ETERNAL breaks governor ondemand and conservative. But it's the
recommended default vaule in cpufreq doc.

This driver only have one instance, because all cpu cores shares the same
clk and voltage. You can see cpumask_setall(policy->cpus).
And get_this_cpu_node() adds the dependency that cpufreq_driver.init must run
on the cpu the policy indicate, which is not correct.

Thanks for your comments
