I couldn't find one and the same is true for freq_table[] too.

AAHHHHHH .. How can i mess up with this concept.. I am really feeling bad now.

That's a good comment (rather than pointing at some stupid mistake), I will
probably keep the same name for the device as well.

So how does below fix look to you?

Much better, but I think you want a better device name than just "clusterN".

Also, please get rid of that "default n" - n is the default default default
default default default.... there's no need to specify it. :)

I will try to find some other name, maybe cpu-cluster (as what you suggested
initially).

Ok :)
