Ref: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/cpufreq/highbank-cpufreq.c#n61 there is a need for a device of some sort. in the example above, we register a dummy device for linking up with cpufreq-cpu0 driver. what we do in this patch is to indicate that SoC CPUs are managed by cpufreq-cpu0 driver. I am a bit curious to see how else would we represent drivers to manage real h/w devices like CPU? Is the highbank style the recommended way to do things? > > >> > >> Cc: "Rafael J.
