True, but in this case it's really a single consumer because it's all
CPU nodes which are managed together.

Wouldn't one node be sufficient?

Thinking more about this, why aren't you using OPP tables to define
CPU frequencies. Assigned-clocks looks like a temporary hack because
you haven't done proper OPP tables.
