I mean, current pwm-samsung.c does not support module, as you know, the
pwm_init() of pwm-samsung is called by arch_initcall().

Yeah, I know :)

I didn't know, would be helpful to me if you could add me in Cc for
discussion of pwm-samsung. And he is my team member, so I will talk to him
about the plan.

No, there is no reason, just because...

So, how about following? If PWM is selected on Samsung SoCs, the PWM_SAMSUNG
will be selected automatically. Of course, it can be de-selected in kernel
menuconfig. Note that, I think, using 'bool <expr>' and 'depends on <expr>'
is more clear than 'prompt <prompt> ["if" <expr>]'. However if any your
preference here, please kindly let me know.
