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 ? -- viresh
