Adding bindings to represent a virtual cpufreq device.

Virtual machines may expose MMIO regions for a virtual cpufreq device
for guests to read performance information or to request performance
selection. The virtual cpufreq device has an individual controller for
each performance domain. Performance points for a given domain can be
normalized across all domains for ease of allowing for virtual machines
to migrate between hosts.

+description:
+  Virtual CPUFreq is a virtualized driver in guest kernels that sends performance
+  selection of its vCPUs as a hint to the host through MMIO regions. Each vCPU
+  is associated with a performance domain which can be shared with other vCPUs.
+  Each performance domain has its own set of registers for performance controls.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: qemu,virtual-cpufreq
+
+  reg:
+    maxItems: 1
+    description:
+      Address and size of region containing performance controls for each of the
+      performance domains. Regions for each performance domain is placed
+      contiguously and contain registers for controlling DVFS(Dynamic Frequency
+      and Voltage) characteristics. The size of the region is proportional to
+      total number of performance domains.
