You're right aspect of only implementation of device driver.

But,
If we use your commented approach, we can show the information
of only parent device through sysfs. We cannot see the information
of passive device. The some information includes the current
frequency and correlation of parent device. (But, current patchset
don' include the topology information between parent device and
passive device. I'll do it on later patches).

For example,
We can see the following bus device through /sys/class/devfreq.

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 44 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 bus_display -> ../../devices/platform/bus_display/devfreq/bus_display
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 bus_fsys -> ../../devices/platform/bus_fsys/devfreq/bus_fsys
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 bus_leftbus -> ../../devices/platform/bus_leftbus/devfreq/bus_leftbus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 bus_peri -> ../../devices/platform/bus_peri/devfreq/bus_peri

We don't see the following bus device because of following bus device
has the same frequency table with bus_leftbus device.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 bus_mfc -> ../../devices/platform/bus_mfc/devfreq/bus_mfc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 17:00 bus_rightbus -> ../../devices/platform/bus_rightbus/devfreq/bus_rightbus
