TBH, gunyah.c should be merged as part of resource manager, and check 
if uuids and features in probe before proceeding further.

Ah -- gunyah_rsc_mgr.ko has symbol dependency on gunyah-msgq.ko. 
gunyah-msgq.ko has symbol dependency on gunyah.ko. gunyah.ko doesn't 
have any probe and does all its work on module_init.

In order to merge gunyah.c with resource manager, I would need to 
incorporate message queue mailbox into resource manager. IMO, this 
rapidly moves towards a mega-module which was discouraged previously.

I missed this discussion; why was it discouraged?

I can think of some reasons why I guess.  But I don't see what
problem comes from linking together a "mega module" that's made
up of well-isolated source files that expose minimal APIs to
one another.  All inter-dependent modules will required at once
anyway; I don't understand the benefit of implementing them
separately.  Can you explain, or provide some context?  Thanks.
