Euh I still don't follow you. The only driver that can register to the cpufreq
core is cpufreq-dt.

Now the only case I see is that there are 2 cpufreq-dt platform_device created
from cpufreq-dt-platdev. Given that there is only 1 call to
platform_device_register_data() in it, I don't see how it is possible.

Now if you are worried that 2 cpufreq-dt devices are created, ie. 1 for pxa25x
and one for pxa27x:
 - this looks impossible given the cpufreq_dt_platdev_init() code
 - no device-tree will ever be compatible with both of them, even if a single
   kernel binary will be compatible with both of them

Tell me if this is the information you're looking for.

Cheers.
