CPU Frequency Control with 5.10 or 5.13 on Dragonboard820c

Hi. How can I control the cpu frequency with 5.10 or 5.13 Debian release? Neither version seems to have this working:

I was able to get the cpu frequency control working in 5.13 by modifying the device tree sources. I copied the device tree cpu frequency changes from 5.7 kernel to 5.13. I am assuming the same would work for getting 5.10 kernel cpu frequency control working.

In order to wrap up this thread nicely, it would be nice if you would include the changes you made so that others could learn from it.
