What can't the driver call this setup/teardown on its own before/after
calling scmi_driver_register/unregister ?

Based on the usage in 9/9, I guess it is mainly to use the
module_scmi_driver ? If so, I would avoid using that or have another
macro to manage this setup/teardown(once there are multiple users for that).
IMO, it doesn't make sense to add callbacks to do things that are outside
the scope of scmi drivers. No ?
