    Correct, unless the communication with the SCP firmware is established
    and the CPU clocks are registered, it makes no sense to register CPUFreq
    virtual device. This seems to be best place IMO.

    And yes, thanks to the absence of platform code on ARM64, where such
    code was traditionally stashed away and got away with such scenarios.
    Let me if you disagree with this or have any other suggestions.
