As you write on one of the commits

   "All of the above are modular, except for Ethernet support (HDMI Audio
    support is an optional feature of the modular ADV7511 driver)."

I'm starting to see some demand for making more drivers loadable modules
that are traditionally built-in. Can you give a more specific reason why
this one (and I guess CONFIG_RAVB next to it) should not a loadable module?
