I already commented that the way the main scmi driver knows about all the protocols looks bad, here we can see another aspect of the same problem. Rather than manually register a platform_device for the purpose of connecting it to the cpufreq driver, there should be a way to dynamically register the protocol from the cpufreq driver and then have both in the same file.
