You don't need a Tested-by from yourself as it is already assumed after the
Signed-off by.

NACK.

It was done this way to make sure ti-cpufreq.c does all the platform specific
stuff before the cpufreq-dt driver comes into place.

If both ti-cpufreq and cpufreq-dt-platform are creating the device, then there
is something else wrong. Did it start failing recently only? Then it might be
due to one of the patches I posted for cpufreq-dt-platdev. You need to add that
patch in the fixes tag and add TI SoCs in the blacklist of devices (with opp-v2)
in cpufreq-dt-platform.c.
