[PATCH] clk: scu/imx8qxp: do not register driver in probe()

[Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>]

imx_clk_scu_init() registers the imx_clk_scu_driver while commonly being
called from IMX driver's probe() callbacks.

However, it neither makes sense to register drivers from probe()
callbacks of other drivers, nor does the driver core allow registering
drivers with a device lock already being held.

The latter was revealed by commit dc23806a7c47 ("driver core: enforce
device_lock for driver_match_device()") leading to a deadlock condition
described in [1].

Additionally, nothing seems to unregister the imx_clk_scu_driver once
the corresponding driver module is unloaded, which leaves the
driver-core with a dangling pointer.

Hence, register the imx_clk_scu_driver from module_init() and unregister
it in module_exit().

Fixes: dc23806a7c47 ("driver core: enforce device_lock for driver_match_device()")
Fixes: 220175cd3979 ("clk: imx: scu: fix build break when compiled as modules")

I plan to send the driver-core PR for 7.0-rc1 soon, which will also contain
commit dc23806a7c47 ("driver core: enforce device_lock for
driver_match_device()").

It also contains an IOMMU commit similar to this one:
https://patch.msgid.link/20260121141215.29658-1-dakr@kernel.org

The commit was originally scheduled for 6.19-rc7, but was deferred to 7.0-rc1 in
case more of those cases pop up (which now happened).
