Regardless whether it is built-in or module, the driver will behave the
same. So either the driver disables the clock, or not. The only
difference will be *when* the action happens.
Choosing it as built-in for the purpose of disabling some clock is not a
proper approach.
The defconfig here serves only a development/debugging/reference purpose.
It's not for production so anyway the effect on disabling some parts is
not that important.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
