Raspberry Pi's firmware offers and interface though which update it's performance requirements. It allows us to request for specific runtime frequencies, which the firmware might or might not respect, depending on the firmware configuration and thermals. As the maximum and minimum frequencies are configurable in the firmware there is no way to know in advance their values. So the Raspberry Pi cpufreq driver queries them, builds an opp frequency table to then launch cpufreq-dt. Also, as the firmware interface might be configured as a module, making the cpu clock unavailable during init, this implements a full fledged driver, as opposed to most drivers registering cpufreq-dt, which only make use of an init routine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
