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 dc23806a7c ("driver core: enforce
device_lock for driver_match_device()") leading to a deadlock condition
described in [1].
Besides that, 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.
Also, if there are multiple matching devices for the imx8qxp_clk_driver,
imx8qxp_clk_probe() calls imx_clk_scu_init() multiple times. However,
any subsequent call after the first one will fail, since the driver-core
does not allow to register the same struct platform_driver multiple
times.
Hence, register the imx_clk_scu_driver from module_init() and unregister
it in module_exit().
Note that we first register the imx8qxp_clk_driver and then call
imx_clk_scu_module_init() to avoid having to call
imx_clk_scu_module_exit() in the unwind path of imx8qxp_clk_init().
