True.

I think create the device in
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq-tegra.c:tegra_cpufreq_init() (which is possibly
all that file would contain), and call that function from
arch/arm/mach-tegra/tegra.c. That way, we'll be able to share the
implementation of tegra_cpufreq_init() with any ARMv8 CPUs that might
appear.
