Actually, I'm puzzled.

On our platform, until 7.1-rc1 we had to add a modprobe.d script to load 
the scmi_cpufreq driver because autoload was not suppported.

Now (7.1-rc1) it seems to be automatically loaded.

I imagined the autoload module has been added between 7.0 and 7.1, but 
the series you are mentioning is from 6.13.

What I am missing ?
