Overall these are the things that you are doing here in the driver:

- open coded clk_{get|set}_rate(), why can't you implement a clock
  driver for the CPU and use the clk framework? You may not need the
  (hacky) work-queue usage then probably.

- populating cpufreq table, you can probably add OPPs instead using
  the same mechanism

- And then you can reuse the cpufreq-dt driver for your platform as
  well, as is the case for few other tegra platforms.
