I was under the impression that cpufreq-dt would still initialize even if the regulator is not ready yet. however (after reading the code again) this is clearly NOT the case.
there's still a benefit with this change: your Odroid-C1 in your KernelCI lab would also be able to change the CPU frequency (so in case something breaks we could spot it there). will you accept this patch after I updated the description to mention that it's for KernelCI test coverage?
