ARM_MT8173_CPUFREQ is a bool symbol, so mt8173-cpufreq.o will never be
part of a module.

(If that's incorrect you can stop reading here.)

I guess this include is not needed. And, for what it's worth,
    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- drivers/cpufreq/mt8173-cpufreq.o

compiles silently even if it's dropped.

According to include/linux/init.h, for built-in only code, this is
equivalent to device_initcall([...]). And two runs of
    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- drivers/cpufreq/mt8173-cpufreq.i

confirm that.
