Regarding the cpufreq for Exynos, we do need to clean things up.

It shall be possible to reuse generic cpufreq-cpu0.c and
arm_big_little.c code instead of several copy pasted
exynos[4|5]xxx-cpufreq.c ones.

This change will require some "virtual" clocks implementation for atomic
clocks dividers change.

I've already committed myself to fix this code. When all goes smooth, I
shall deliver some RFC code after new year.
