We just can't get wrong with the ordering here, as this is done from
device_initcall() and so that point is out of question.

The other thing that can happen is that armada_xp_pmsu_cpufreq_init()
call can fail. In that case, most of the times cpufreq-dt ->init()
will fail as well, so even that is fine for me.

And, so I think we can keep this patch as is.

Do you agree ?
