We have both drivers (brcmstb-avs-cpufreq and scmi-cpufreq) enabled in
our kernel configuration, however, depending on the firmware version, we
may have a number of combinations:

- arm,scmi DT node is present and enabled (status = okay) as well as
brcmstb-avs-cpufreq being present and enabled
- arm,scmi DT node is present but disabled (status = disabled) and
brcmstb-avs-cpufreq is being present and enabled

If you think this is a self inflicted, downstream and backwards/forwards
compatible relevant only change, I suppose we are fine with that too.
