cpufreq: instantiate cpufreq-cpu0 as a platform_driver
As multiplatform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms, initcall function should be used very carefully. For example, when GENERIC_CPUFREQ_CPU0 is built in the kernel, cpu0_cpufreq_driver_init() will be called on all the platforms to initialize cpufreq-cpu0 driver. To eliminate this undesired the effect, the patch changes cpufreq-cpu0 driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver. Then it will only run on platforms that create the platform_device "cpufreq-cpu0". Along with the change, it also changes cpu_dev to be &pdev->dev, so that managed functions can start working, and module build gets supported too. The highbank-cpufreq driver is also updated accordingly to adapt the changes on cpufreq-cpu0.
