Let me make one step back here. The original issue is, now this exynos
cpufreq driver depends on of thermal; but of thermal can be built as
module, while this cpufreq driver cannot. Original proposal is to allow
module build in the exynos cpufreq driver.

On the original proposal, my concern is that the driver code does not
have separated modules, but one single module platform driver,  which uses functions from
other c files. On top of that, the patch originally allows four
(independent) modules builds. Although the children drivers still
selects the core part, we would still need to change the original patch
to add module dependency too.

So, my proposal was to, in order to allow module builds on this cpufreq
driver, we also need to properly construct the driver into a single
module, instead of several modules. The issue with my patch was the fact
that it was allowing platforms that do not use that driver, to select it
by default. And eventually this may cause a unusable module being loaded
into those systems.

Well, trying harder here in the same approach. The diff bellow is based
on Arnd's original patch and on Viresh's amendment, except that the core
part is now dependent on all the supported platforms, instead of
ARCH_EXYNOS. This way, it wont load in platforms that are not supposed
to be loaded. The user will be able to build the support for all
platforms, or select which platforms he/she wants (as originally),
except that now it can be a module, instead.

I believe now by default it will still keep the driver only on those
configs that expect it to be on. And it won't compile/load on platforms
that it is not supposed to. It brings closer a config that is dependent on this
driver, so it looks better in the menuconfig.

Let me know if I missed something (feel free to amend to your patch):
