Could we please come up with a way to probe this from DT in the
cpufreq-cpu0 driver itself, so we don't have to add a device in every
platform using it?
Its followed that way because DT Maintainers had strong objections
to creating virtual device nodes and haven't allowed creation of nodes
for cpufreq drivers.. For which there is no physical device, as CPU already
has a separate node..

as we already have the "enable-method" property for enabling/disabling cpus,
would something like a "scaling-method" be feasible?


"scaling-method" also sounds like a software specific property. Would
that be something that will be acceptable in dt?

How about dvfs-method ? But the value should not be based on the driver they
use, but something more generic.
