Please be aware that the spinlock does not actually guarantee serializing
a series of mmio writes unless the MMIO mapping is non-posted, or
you follow it with a readl() from the same device before the spin_unlock().

This introduces a reverse dependency between the modules, which will cause
problems at link time depending on how you configure it. There are two ways
to avoid this:

a) the simple method is to always link every backend into the driver module,
usually leaving them all enabled at compile time.

b) once this gets out of hand because there are too many variants, or the
differences between them are too big, you refactor the common code into
a library module that just exports a functions but has no module_init()
itself, plus a front-end driver for each variant, which now calls into
the common
code rather than being called by the common code.
