I don't think you need this file/patch at all.. It is almost blank and
doesn't define a binding. And so there is no need to specify this at
all. Just an OPP binding file is enough.

I have two issues with that.  Firstly, although the driver uses the
OPP API (it also uses the Regulator and Clock API too), it is
fundamentally a CPUFreq driver, so I think it should have a CPUFreq
DT entry.  Secondly, if someone doesn't know the history of the
ST CPUFreq set, they will look here for an accompanying document.  I
personally wouldn't think to look in power/*opp* for a CPUFreq
binding.

Perhaps, as all of the CPUFreq drivers use the OPP API, everything
should be moved to drivers/base/power or drivers/power?

Cc'ing Rob as well..

For both patches:

Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

But I would like Rob to have a look as well :)

W00t!  I'll start fixing up the driver.

No problem.
