access to cpu_freq_capacity to should be put under #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ.

Why haven't you moved arm_arch_scale_freq_capacity in smp.c as
everything else for frequency in-variance is already in this file ?
This should also enable you to remove
DECLARE_PER_CPU(atomic_long_t, cpu_freq_capacity); from topology.h
