The imx-cpufreq-dt driver is built as a module by default and this patch 
produces an error:

In file included from ../drivers/cpufreq/imx-cpufreq-dt.c:11:
../include/linux/module.h:131:42: error: redefinition of ‘__inittest’
   static inline initcall_t __maybe_unused __inittest(void)  \
                                           ^~~~~~~~~~
../include/linux/device.h:1656:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘module_init’
  module_init(__driver##_init); \
  ^~~~~~~~~~~

As far as I can tell late_initcall is not supported for modules.

Viresh: "max freq as suspend freq" is something that could be useful for 
other SOC families. The hardware can suspend at any freq; it's just that 
the highest one makes sense because it makes suspend/resume slightly faster.

Could this behavior be pushed to cpufreq-dt as a bool flag inside struct 
cpufreq_dt_platform_data?

Only a few other platforms use this, most others pass NULL like imx. But 
passing custom SOC-specific flags to cpufreq-dt makes a lot of sense
