All of the mt2712 drivers have been converted to platform drivers!
Change the Kconfig options for all MT2712 clocks to tristate to allow
building all clock drivers as modules.

Hmm... How does that work out if mt2712-apmixedsys is a
builtin_platform_driver?

That doesn't. Thanks for catching that, I've added a .remove() callback
and changed it to module_platform_driver() for v3!
Actually, I thought that if it were built as a module, then the
builtin_platform_driver would then expand to a module_init() without
module_exit(). So it would become a loadable module that cannot be
unloaded.

That was just looking at the header files, so I could be mistaken.

Side note: IIRC a missing .remove() driver callback doesn't actually
block driver removal or unbinding.
It doesn't, but we'd leak memory because of the kzalloc() that happened
at the beginning of the probe function... so adding the .remove() callback
was pretty much necessary :-)

Thanks,
Angelo
