[PATCH v1 3/3] gpio: tegra: Support building driver as a loadable module

From: Dmitry Osipenko
Date: Fri Jan 22 2021 - 14:38:18 EST


Support building driver as a loadable kernel module. This allows to
reduce size of a kernel zImage, which is important for some devices
since size of kernel partition may be limited and since some bootloader
variants have known problems in regards to the initrd placement if kernel
image is too big.
