I think this should work, but perhaps will be a bit tricky for cpufreq
driver developers as they need to have a pretty good understanding of
the stack to know that they should do the registration from here and not
->init() for instance. Suggested alternative: we introduce a ->register_em()
callback to cpufreq_driver, and turn dev_pm_opp_of_register_em() into a
valid handler for this callback. This should 'document' things a bit
better, avoid some of the problems your other series tried to achieve, and
allow us to call the EM registration in exactly the right place from
cpufreq core. On the plus side, we could easily make this work for e.g.
the SCMI driver which would only need to provide its own version of
->register_em().

Thoughts?
I had exactly the same thing in mind, but was thinking of two
callbacks, to register and unregister. But yeah, we aren't going to
register for now at least :)

I wasn't sure if that should be done or not, since we also have
ready() callback. So was reluctant to suggest it earlier. But that can
work well as well.
