You mean as CPUFreq driver? It's used cpufreq-dt as well but the compatible
strings for exynos5420/5800 are not registered when the switcher is enabled.

All 8 cores for the Exynos5420/5800 Chromebooks have been brought up via MCPM
for a long time in mainline, look for example at Kevin's Peach Pi boot log [0].

This is also true when chainloading u-boot (that's my setup as well), but I see
that only one CPU is powered up on your boot farm indeed [1].

I'm using the latest ChromeOS u-boot and chain loading u-boot version 2016.01.
