Hi Shawn,

Ok. But I am bit suspicious about devm_clk_get(cpu_dev, NULL).
I don't understand completely as how the clock are registered(whether
with dev_id or with connection_id).

A quick grep revealed that i.mx and shmobile is using conection id while
registering. If the clock is registered with connection id and retrieved
with cpu_dev(now dev_id is cpu0 and not cpufreq-cpu0), IIUC that would
break. If we pass pdev->dev for clk_get, it should be fine but again
IIUC it breaks highbank which gets all the information from DT.

So only solution I can think of is to continue to have the code
assigning (&pdev->dev)->of_node with cpu device node which is not clean
and arguable as incorrect since there is no DT node for cpufreq-cpu0.
I don't have a strong opinion though.

Let me know how would you like to fix this.

Ok no problem I can post the fix based on response for the above question.
