Bindings should not describe the behaviour of any kernel (and for that
reason I'm not very keen on the current cpufreq-cpu0 binding document).

Bindings should simply describe the hardware. This addition could
instead be:

 - cooling-zones: a list of thermal zone phandles.

However, as the thermal zone binding doesn't seem to have appeared by
this patch, it should get moved later anyway...

Thanks,
Mark.
