dt-bindings: cpufreq: add virtual cpufreq device
Adding bindings to represent a virtual cpufreq device. Virtual machines may expose MMIO regions for a virtual cpufreq device for guests to read performance information or to request performance selection. The virtual cpufreq device has an individual controller for each performance domain. Performance points for a given domain can be normalized across all domains for ease of allowing for virtual machines to migrate between hosts.

+description:
+ Virtual CPUFreq is a virtualized driver in guest kernels that sends performance
+ selection of its vCPUs as a hint to the host through MMIO regions. Each vCPU
+ is associated with a performance domain which can be shared with other vCPUs.
+ Each performance domain has its own set of registers for performance controls.

+ description:
+ Address and size of region containing performance controls for each of the
+ performance domains. Regions for each performance domain is placed
+ contiguously and contain registers for controlling DVFS(Dynamic Frequency
+ and Voltage) characteristics. The size of the region is proportional to
+ total number of performance domains.
