Alright got it. Maybe say "protect clk enable and set rate from
happening at the same time".

I thought this was using module_platform_driver() macro?

Yes. If it's builtin_platform_driver() it can't be a module/tristate
Kconfig, in which case all the init markings can stay.

Yes

If it's never going to be a module then don't add any module_* things.
