A hard dependency would likely make more sense here. I can update this
in a new revision. When I first set the soft dependency, I wasn't
certain how the driver worked, so I was trying to be less intrusive.

These are separate things, aren't they? What's unregistered in the
remove is the cpufreq-dt device. And what's unregistered here is the
tegra124-cpufreq device. Not the same thing, unless I'm really missing
something.
