Well my main concern here is that we should use generic
Linux frameworks between the devices within DSS where possible.
I can see a single driver pile of code quickly turn into a
spaghetti of internal calls instead..
Also each devices on the DSS interconnect needs to do
pm_runtime_get for it's struct device naturally.
If you can avoid the issues above, then I have no objections
of just having one module.

Tony
