And GPIO nicely handles this via deferred probe mechanism. Why it
can't be used here?
So, we really need to have a strong argument to limit module nowadays
to be only builtin.

Ah, this explains header, thanks!
But it doesn't explain depends OF.
So, perhaps,
depends OF || COMPILE_TEST will be more informative, i.e.
tells "okay, this driver can be compiled w/o OF, but won't be functional".
