I liked the idea of reducing code duplication, but not much the
implementation. All we were able to get rid of was a call to
of_cpufreq_cooling_register() and nothing else. Is it worth it ?

Maybe we can add another flag in cpufreq.h:

#define CPUFREQ_AUTO_REGISTER_COOLING_DEV (1 << 7)

and let the core do it all automatically by itself, that will get rid
of code duplication actually.

@Rafael: What do you say ?
