Good, so all CPUs are sharing the same clock line in your case. You
are probably using an ARM board :)

static int __cpufreq_add_dev(struct device *dev, struct subsys_interface *sif)
...
for_each_cpu(j, policy->cpus)
per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data, j) = policy;

No. It is called when we allocate/create policy structure for the
first time. So,
once for every group of CPUs sharing clock line.

Because we need to updated policy->cpus, i.e. CPUs managed by this policy.
Most of the governors today, schedule a per-cpu time based on this field only.
