Like i.MX pinctrl, I'm not sure if it's really necessary to build core
libraries as modules. Probably the simplest way is only building
platform drivers part as module. And leave those core libraries built in kernel.
This may make the code a bit cleaner.

Will discuss this with Linaro guys about it, previous requirement I received is all
SoC specific modules need to be built as module.

Okay. AFAIK it's not conflict.
You still make drivers into modules.
Only difference is for those common libraries part, we don't convert them into module
Which is less meaningless.
 

What is the benefit of making the core part of the SoC driver not a
module? From the module perspective it should be perfectly fine to make
it a module as well, and then depmod will sort out loading modules in
the right order.

This is for android right?
