[PATCH 2/2] pmdomain: imx: scu-pd: allow building as a module

From: Zhipeng Wang <zhipeng.wang_1 at nxp.com>

Convert CONFIG_IMX_SCU_PD from bool to tristate to allow building as a
loadable module. This is needed on Android devices using the Generic
Kernel Image (GKI), where SoC-specific drivers must be built as modules
rather than built into the core kernel image.

For i.MX8Q devices running Android with a GKI kernel, the SCU power
domain driver must be loadable. Without tristate support, power domains
cannot be properly initialized, preventing these systems from
functioning under GKI.

Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() for OF-based module autoloading. When built
as a module, use module_platform_driver(); when built-in, retain
builtin_platform_driver() to preserve the existing initialization
ordering.
