Looks good to me. But After edited the log message, you can make
it on one line because the length is not over 80 char.
You can change it for the readability as following:

        if (!IS_ERR(devfreq)) {
-               dev_err(dev, "%s: Unable to create devfreq for the device.\n",
-                       __func__);
+               dev_err(dev, "%s: devfreq device already exists.\n", __func__);
