I'd rephrase this a bit to address Sudeep's comment. Something like:
"Some QCOM chipsets have a HW engine to offload the steps necessary
for changing the frequency of the CPUs. Firmware loaded in this engine
exposes a programming interface to the high-level OS. This driver
exposes a cpufreq abstraction for this HW engine. Say Y ....."

This can be a bit more descriptive, e.g.
"QCOM firmware-based CPU Frequency driver"
