I don't think this driver is needed to boot the system to root
filesystem, is it? If so, it would be preferred to enable this as a
module to keep kernel binary size down for all platforms.

It looks like we should revisit and bring some of the other platforms
back to modules too (Rockchip is today, but Renesas and Armada don't
seem to be).
