That might be close enough to what we want. It would by default enable
ARM_EXYNOS_CPUFREQ for exynos based machines that do not use this driver
(e.g. 5440, which has a separate driver, or exynos3/exynos7), but that
can probably just be dealt with by disabling it in the user's defconfig.
If i'm reading exynos_cpufreq_probe right, it would actually compile
into an almost-empty file in this case and only kzalloc a few bytes
of memory and then print a warning message.
