Well, in v6.6-rc4 I see:

static const struct of_device_id ti_cpufreq_of_match[] = {
	{ .compatible = "ti,am33xx", .data = &am3x_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am3517", .data = &am3517_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am43", .data = &am4x_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,dra7", .data = &dra7_soc_data },
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap34xx", .data = &omap34xx_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap36xx", .data = &omap36xx_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am625", .data = &am625_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,am62a7", .data = &am625_soc_data, },
	/* legacy */
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap3430", .data = &omap34xx_soc_data, },
	{ .compatible = "ti,omap3630", .data = &omap36xx_soc_data, },
	{},
};

Either the "/* legacy */" or the "ti,omap36xx" seems as if it should be removed.
But it seems to break the systematic approach of this table.

> The bindings also only specify omap3630.

What I think is that the background was (before bindings documentation
was invented) that there are drivers covering all variants of omap36xx
(incl. am37xx and dm37xx) and some parts specific to a single version.

So maybe it could have been missing in the bindings?

Anyways it seems to need some cleanup to remove all references to 
omap36xx before it is forgotten...

BR,
Nikolaus
