For the case where both are built-in the load order works my driver uses
device_initcall() and acpi_cpufreq uses late_initcall().

For the case where both are a module (which I was sure I tested) you are right
I will have to do something.

For now I propose to make my driver built-in only while I sort out the right
solution for the module build.  Does this seem reasonable to everyone?
