Subject: RE: [EXT] Re: [PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: dt-platdev: Add MODULE_LICENSE

I am working on enabling support for Google's Generic Kernel Image (GKI) project on our boards (mek_8qxp and 8qm). 
The cpufreq-dt driver already supports modularity, and the cpufreq-dt-platdev is also required. From my understanding, cpufreq-dt-platdev is not necessarily required to be built in, as it does not affect the basic boot process. Therefore, I would like to make it support building as a module.

BRs,
Zhipeng
