Hello,

I've found that the following commit fixes the issue:

commit 7694ca6e1d6f01122f05039b81f70f64b1ec4063
Author: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Apr 22 16:58:42 2016 +0530

    cpufreq: omap: Use generic platdev driver

    The cpufreq-dt-platdev driver supports creation of cpufreq-dt platform
    device now, reuse that and remove similar code from platform code.
