Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: cpufreq: add bindings for virtual cpufreq

Adding bindings to represent a virtual cpufreq device.

Virtual machines may expose MMIO regions for a virtual cpufreq device for
guests to read frequency information or to request frequency selection. The
virtual cpufreq device has an individual controller for each CPU.

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

Why do you need DT for this? You control hypervisor, thus control the
interface to the guest. I think Rob made it pretty clear that
discoverable usecases (which is yours) are not for DT.

Missing unit address

compatible is always the first property.

Also, you did not test it...

Why do you say this? This patch series was obviously tested very well
with all the data we collected.

Why do I say? Because of warning and huge fat Python exception? Test
it... you will see.
