Why isn't this symbol tristate instead of bool so that the
interconnect management support can be built as a loadable module?


Thanks for the comment! For simplicity, the core API currently is
only supported as a built-in, but we can definitely try making it
modular. I can do it after we get some initial feedback on if and
how this concept fits in the kernel and set the direction we want
to go.
