This argument is not a a technical one and the official upstream
kernel policy is to not depend on out-of-tree drivers.
Besides the ARM Mali drivers are full of code like:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(x, y, z)
...
#else
...
#endif
so few more instances of similar code won't do any harm.. ;-)

I took a look at ARM Mali drivers source code anyway and I fail to
see a rationale behind their behavior of doing 'freq_table' and
'max_state' initialization in the driver itself (instead of leaving
it up to the devfreq core code, like all in-kernel drivers are doing
already).
Could you please explain rationale behind ARM Mali drivers' special
needs?
[ Both ARM Mali and devfreq core code are using generic PM OPP code
these days to do 'freq_table' and 'max_state' initialization, the
only difference seems to be that ARM Mali creates the frequency
table in the descending order (but there also seems to be no real
need for it). ]
Maybe this is an opportunity to simplify also the ARM Mali driver?

Well, 'struct devfreq_stats *stats' can be trivially moved out of
'struct devfreq_profile' to 'struct devfreq' if you prefer it that
way..
