I'm ok with the change. But I'm curious how can this module be autoloaded
without MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.
Have you tested if it can work?

I ONLY tested the manual insmod, if want to support auto load, may need some more
change, will try it later and send out a V2 if needed.

The further check shows that, if want to support auto load, the platform device
register needs to be done in somewhere else which is built-in (in my test, I move it
to clk-imx8qxp.c's probe), and also need to add below module alias in this driver,
because it has no device node in DT and no device table in driver.
+MODULE_ALIAS("platform:imx-scu-soc");
Since this driver has no device node in DT, and the target is to build all SoC specific
drivers as module, so the best way is to add a virtual device node in DT in order to support
auto load?

I see that there is indeed a driver for the device node in
drivers/firmware/imx/imx-scu.c,
the only reason for this module using device_initcall() with a manual
platform_device_register_simple() seems to be that we cannot have two
platform drivers bind to the same device node.
I think a cleaner way to handle this would be to just move the entire soc
driver into the firmware driver and then remove the duplication.

Yes, sounds like a good idea to me.

So the idea is to remove this driver and implement the soc id/revision/serial_number etc.
in drivers/firmware/imx/imx-scu.c, right?

Yes, I think you can basically merge imx_scu_soc_probe() into imx_scu_probe()
or call it from there, with only a few changes.
