I was not saying this is incorrect, all I am saying is that you never
replied to a comment from one of the reviewers.

And I don't see a reason why this should be a tristate really.
cpufreq-dt is already capable of being a module, all your driver does
is that it creates the cpufreq-dt platform device after setting the
OPP hw properties..

Over that, have you ever tried inserting, then removing and inserting
the driver module again? I feel it will fail.

The reason is that you never provided an exit routine which can get
rid of the platform device created in the first place.
