I explained that earlier as well, but you never replied to that :)
Let me paste that again here:

Consider this case:
- Platform code sets regulator for cpuX (Create OPP-table struct and
  set regulator)
- insmod cpufreq-dt.ko (Fill OPP table)
- rmmod cpufreq-dt.ko (Remove OPP table and struct, according to your
  suggestion)
- insmod cpufreq-dt.ko (No regulator found).

The platform code is supposed to set regulator, supported-hw,
prop-name only once from some init-code. And it should just work out
of the box after that. And so these calls are really required.
