What would be wrong with

		policy->cooldev = of_cpufreq_cooling_register(policy);

Please remove the #ifdefs from cpufreq_online() and cpufreq_offline().

Use wrappers that would become empty stubs for CONFIG_CPU_THERMAL unset.

Again, why don't you simply pass policy->cooldev here?

Also, would it make sense to clear policy->cooldev at this point?  It points
to freed memory after cpufreq_cooling_unregister().
