I have two issues with that. Firstly, although the driver uses the
OPP API (it also uses the Regulator and Clock API too), it is
fundamentally a CPUFreq driver, so I think it should have a CPUFreq
DT entry. Secondly, if someone doesn't know the history of the
ST CPUFreq set, they will look here for an accompanying document. I
personally wouldn't think to look in power/*opp* for a CPUFreq
binding.

Perhaps, as all of the CPUFreq drivers use the OPP API, everything
should be moved to drivers/base/power or drivers/power?
