Adding bindings to represent a virtual cpufreq device.

Virtual machines may expose MMIO regions for a virtual cpufreq device for
guests to read frequency information or to request frequency selection. The
virtual cpufreq device has an individual controller for each CPU.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

Why do you need DT for this? You control hypervisor, thus control the
interface to the guest. I think Rob made it pretty clear that
discoverable usecases (which is yours) are not for DT.

Incomplete style-review follows:

Missing unit address

compatible is always the first property.

Also, you did not test it...

Why do you say this? This patch series was obviously tested very well
with all the data we collected.

Why do I say? Because of warning and huge fat Python exception? Test
it... you will see.
