This is the sequence of events if you move these things to ->init().

- your driver's probe()
-> cpufreq_register_driver()
-> init()
-> clk/reg get, failed, return -EPROBE_DEFER

And the failure here will be propagated to probe(). So, it should
work IMHO.

That's something else you must investigate on. This dependency should
be resolved in some other way, I thought DT might have taken care of
such dependencies.
