Sorry, am away on vacation and slow on emails. The plan was to kill
omap cpufreq once all platforms convert to device tree only boot. Only
platform left is OMAP3 based platforms - though the date for removing
non-dt support has changed a couple of kernel revisions - but we
should be able to remove that entire file with this change.

We will need this support to go with the solution recommended for opp
modifier series[1] - where platform code will populate or add OPPs
based on "speed grade" sample detection.
