Please at least try to do it, or explain in the changelog what went wrong
if it doesn't work.

I don't think "because Android GKI" should ever be the sole justification for
a patch. Making drivers loadable module is a good idea regardless of GKI,
and if you do that, then make it behave like any other loadable module.
