[PATCH] bus: brcmstb_gisb: Allow building as module

[Florian Fainelli]

Allow building the Broadcom STB GISB arbiter driver as a module, however
similar to interrupt controller drivers, don't allow its unbind/removal
since it is not quite prepared for that and we want it to catch bus
errors all the time.

Hmm, did you actually test that ?

Building mips:allmodconfig ... failed

Great way to introduce someone to a problem, really.

I did not indeed test a modular build for MIPS and had not anticipated 
it to fail. Thomas, do you have any objections exporting 
board_be_handler to modules or would you rather not do it and force the 
driver to be boolean for MIPS?

I'd prefer to not export it, so making the driver non-modular for MIPS
would be a solution. If there is a need to set the bus error handling
I'd like to see a function setting and that function could be exported.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea.                                                [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
