I believe Sudeep is recommending something I recommended earlier. It
would look like:

   cpu7 {
	   qcom,freq-domain = <&cpufreq_hw 1>;
   }

to indicate that cpu7 is in cpufreq_hw's frequency domain #1. That
should probably be called clk domain BTW.

If that was done with a phandle and a single cell, then we should have
something similar on the cpufreq_hw node side indicating how to parse
the cells in qcom,freq-domain. A property like #qcom,freq-domain-cells =
<1> to indicate that one u32 follows the phandle.
