Why not allow this to be a loadable module?

I don't see any point in it, it's so basic to be able to access the
MMIO devices on the platform, the plan was to select the driver
from the corresponding mach-qcom SoC type (MSM8660+APQ8060).

But I can make it a module instead, if preferred.

Ok, I expected this to be only for rare optional devices such as
NOR flash or the ethernet device from your example. If this is required
for booting a system, making it a module won't help much.
