Okay.

I was also thinking that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE shouldn't be used. Not all
MI300-based systems will need or can use this module. And it does depend
on specific platform configurations.

So the module should not autoload. Users will need to manually load it if
they know that it's usable on their platform. We can keep the cpuid[] and
model checks just for extra safety.
