Yes when I originally wrote this patch cpufreq-cpu0 was using cpu0 node.
But later sometimes it was changed to parse all the nodes.

I could not get what exactly you mean by 'descr', do you mean more
descriptive ? If so, what exactly you would like to add ?

Ok

Correct it was meant to be in patch#2, will move in next version

Makes sense, will add that in next version.
