mvebu: armada-37xx: add patch to forbid cpufreq for 1.2 GHz
This patch is backported from linux-arm-kernel [1] to improve situation, when it was reported that 1.2 GHz variant is unstable with DFS. It waits to be accepted upstream, however, it waits for Marvell people to respond.

+Subject: [PATCH v2] cpufreq: armada-37xx: forbid cpufreq for 1.2 GHz variant
+Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2021 00:56:01 +0200
+
+The 1.2 GHz variant of the Armada 3720 SOC is unstable with DVFS: when
+the SOC boots, the WTMI firmware sets clocks and AVS values that work
+correctly with 1.2 GHz CPU frequency, but random crashes occur once
+cpufreq driver starts scaling.
+
+We do not know currently what is the reason:
+- it may be that the voltage value for L0 for 1.2 GHz variant provided
+ by the vendor in the OTP is simply incorrect when scaling is used,
+- it may be that some delay is needed somewhere,
+- it may be something else.
+
+The most sane solution now seems to be to simply forbid the cpufreq
+driver on 1.2 GHz variant.
