I have been testing this with a config known to work on RB5 board.

You are right, I am able to recreate this problem with defconfig on
6.7-rc2 as well. The problem here seems to be caused by having both
module_amba_driver() and module_platform_driver() in the same file.

#define module_amba_driver(__amba_drv) \
        module_driver(__amba_drv, amba_driver_register, amba_driver_unregister)

#define module_platform_driver(__platform_driver) \
        module_driver(__platform_driver, platform_driver_register, \
                        platform_driver_unregister)

Although, AFAICT, have not seen these before - even on the defconfig.
Just to work around this problem, there can be a common module_init()
/module_exit() to register/unregister both AMBA and platform drivers,
similar to etm4x_init()/etm4x_exit() setup in coresight-etm4x-core.c.
