How does this driver probe? Do you have a node in DT named
raspberrypi-cpufreq that matches and probes this? I would think this
would follow the drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq-dt-platdev.c design where it's
an initcall that probes the board compatible string.

Or, if it depends on clk-raspberrypi probing, maybe it could create the
platform device in that drivers probe function.

I don't think the module alias is needed anymore.
