cpufreq: OMAP: instantiate omap-cpufreq as a platform_driver
As multi-platform build is being adopted by more and more ARM platforms,
initcall function should be used very carefully. For example, when
CONFIG_ARM_OMAP2PLUS_CPUFREQ is built in the kernel, omap_cpufreq_init()
will be called on all the platforms to initialize omap-cpufreq driver.
Further, on OMAP, we now use Soc generic cpufreq-cpu0 driver using device
tree entries. To allow cpufreq-cpu0 and omap-cpufreq drivers to co-exist
for OMAP in a single image, we need to ensure the following:
1. With device tree boot, we use cpufreq-cpu0
2. With non device tree boot, we use omap-cpufreq
In the case of (1), we will have cpu OPPs and regulator registered
as part of the device tree nodes, to ensure that omap-cpufreq
and cpufreq-cpu0 don't conflict in managing the frequency of the
same CPU, we should not permit omap-cpufreq to be probed.
In the case of (2), we will not have the cpufreq-cpu0 device, hence
only omap-cpufreq will be active.
To eliminate this undesired these effects, we change omap-cpufreq
driver to have it instantiated as a platform_driver and register
"omap-cpufreq" device only when booted without device tree nodes on
OMAP platforms.
This allows the following:
a) Will only run on platforms that create the platform_device
"omap-cpufreq".
b) Since the platform_device is registered only when device tree nodes
are *not* populated, omap-cpufreq driver does not conflict with
the usage of cpufreq-cpu0 driver which is used on OMAP platforms when
device tree nodes are present.
