There are two different goals here, and there's no real reason to
bundle them together:

  1) Make qcom a loadable module.  This is a hard requirement so
     multi-platform kernels don't need to build in all drivers
     statically.

  2) Make qcom unloadable.  This is a high want, possibly even a
     requirement for developers, but is not really a big issue for
     users.

There are different changes required: 1) requires the Kconfig change;
2) requires .remove() to be implemented.  Since there's no requirement
that these be done together, let's split them into separate patches.

Then we can make sure that at least 1) gets done, and if for any
reason 2) isn't safe or breaks something, we can at least bisect and
if necessary revert it without losing 1).

Implementing 1) in itself requires more than simply splitting this
patch. And I don't think we should be making life harder for developers,
as well as users assisting during debugging, by going in that direction.

We have tons of modules in the kernel and very few that cannot be
unloaded. Anyone who doesn't trust root to not unload modules can
always disable unloading completely using CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD.

If you're saying this patch can't be split, can you elaborate on the
details of *why* it can't be split?

This is all true, but IIUC, the issue is about unloading IRQ
controller drivers, and this doesn't address that.  I don't have a
clear understanding of the issue, and it would be nice if a patch that
specifically added unloadability could elaborate on that.  Then we can
decide that "yes, this is a risk, and we're willing to accept it." An
argument that "tons of modules do this" totally avoids the issues of
this particular case.
