Some of these platforms do not have CPUfreq support, which will most
likely require programming of cluster and L2/L3 clocks being part of
this region.

For the reference, I think that sc7180/sm8150/other new platforms are
proper examples of 'compatible' devices, so the patchset itself has a
correct/good idea beneath. It's just that additional research might be
required for the older platforms.
