Does this driver make sense to support modular use?  I ask because
it inherits the inconsistency of being a bool Kconfig but using some
modular infrastructure from the APB driver.

Sometime ago  when I sent patches to dma/* to "demodularize" other
bools, the general consensus of reviewers/maintainers was that
(to paraphrase) "if it can be modular, it should be modular" -- in
order to keep the multi platform bzImage size as small as can be.

I did a quick test with it tristate, but that fails as follows:

ERROR: "pm_clk_add_clk" [drivers/dma/tegra210-adma.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "pm_clk_create" [drivers/dma/tegra210-adma.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "pm_clk_destroy" [drivers/dma/tegra210-adma.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "pm_clk_suspend" [drivers/dma/tegra210-adma.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "pm_clk_resume" [drivers/dma/tegra210-adma.ko] undefined!

...since drivers/base/power/clock_ops.c does not currently have any of
those fcns as EXPORT_SYMBOL.  Not a show-stopper, but I don't
want to blindly export those fcns if it doesn't make sense.

Thanks,
Paul.
