Best would be to register a cpufreq policy notifier,
(cpufreq_register_notifier()), and then call cpufreq_update_policy()
whenever the "X device driver" needs to modify its frequency constraints.

In addition, it would be best to discuss this on the cpufreq mailing list at

cpufreq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Best,
