I suggest to send an RFC patch to (re-)enable DVFS on Odroid-C2
I find it easy to miss a DVFS discussion inside a "missing regulator" series

with a separate patch you can also get feedback from other Odroid-C2
owners who can help testing
coincidence or not: on Friday someone asked in the #linux-amlogic IRC
channel why Odroid-C2 didn't have DVFS enabled and what to do about it
