So you mean for future DT files we can have something like this:

cpus {
compatible = "operation-points-v2";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

cpu@0 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <0>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
operating-points-v2 = <&cpu0_opp_table>;
};
};

cpu0_opp_table: opp_table0 {
opp@1000000000 {
opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1000000000>;
opp-microvolt = <970000 975000 985000>;
opp-microamp = <70000>;
clock-latency-ns = <300000>;
opp-suspend;
};
opp@1100000000 {
opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <1100000000>;
opp-microvolt = <980000 1000000 1010000>;
opp-microamp = <80000>;
clock-latency-ns = <310000>;
};
};
};

And the cpufreq-dt driver can match /cpus node's compatible string against
"operating-points-v2" and create a device at runtime ?

@Rob: Will that be acceptable to you? We are discussing (again) about how to
probe cpufreq-dt driver automatically for platforms :)

The cpus node doesn't have any 'compatible' property today, and I will be
required to add that in this case.
