Well, in v6.6-rc4 I see:

static const struct of_device_id ti_cpufreq_of_match[] = {
	{ .compatible = "ti,am33xx", .data = &am3x_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am3517", .data = &am3517_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am43", .data = &am4x_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,dra7", .data = &dra7_soc_data },
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap34xx", .data = &omap34xx_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap36xx", .data = &omap36xx_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am625", .data = &am625_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am62a7", .data = &am625_soc_data, },
	/* legacy */
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap3430", .data = &omap34xx_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap3630", .data = &omap36xx_soc_data, },
	{},
};

Either the "/* legacy */" or the "ti,omap36xx" seems as if it should be removed.
But it seems to break the systematic approach of this table.

> The bindings also only specify omap3630.

What I think is that the background was (before bindings documentation
was invented) that there are drivers covering all variants of omap36xx
(incl. am37xx and dm37xx) and some parts specific to a single version.

So maybe it could have been missing in the bindings?

Anyways it seems to need some cleanup to remove all references to 
omap36xx before it is forgotten...

BR,
