Just to give an update, this series will be dropped as it introduces
dependency issues
with consumer drivers.
The reason why I've enabled the module build support is because it is
required to build
vendor drivers as modules for Android GKI feature.

By including module.h, the subsys_initcall() is redefined as
module_init() when built
as a module. When built-in, it is redefined as the usual __initcall.
