E.g. omap2plus_defconfig compiles cpufreq-dt as module. As there is no module alias nor a module_init(), cpufreq-dt-platdev will not be used and therefore on several omap platforms there is no cpufreq.
Enforce builtin compile of cpufreq-dt-platdev to make it effective.

I'd much rather see this fixed to work as a module. You already hinted at the right way to do that, so please do that instead.

no clear idea how. What aliases should I add? The cpufreq-dt-platdev is not a real driver, so I could not create mod_devicetable aliases to match a given device. It constructs a device under certain conditions depending on the board compatible, so no simple list of compatibles, it contains allow and blocklists.
cpufreq-dt then binds to that device and that one can be built as a module (which then made cpufreq-dt-platdev also a module, causing the trouble). I do not see any benefit from having cpufreq-dt-platdev as a module. ti-cpufreq has a similar role and is also just builtin. It does itself no real work but provides a device cpufreq-dt then binds to.
Handling module removal would probably need to be added and tested. I feel not comfortable having such as a regression fix and for stable.
