I could come up with the patch below. If this is any cleaner and acceptable
I am happy to post it. One advantage of moving the use of topology_core_cpumask
inside ve_spc_clk_init is that it's just device_initcall and not a module.
It allows to handle ve_spc_cpufreq as module. I prefer this than the
previous solution/workaround. Let me know.
