This driver can be modular.

I wrote "tristate" in my original patch.

See this one:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7805091/



But when I look at linux-next, it is "bool".



Now, I realized what happened.

Olof Johansson only said "Thanks, applied to next/drivers."
But, he silently modified my patch,
changing "tristate" into "bool".


Olof,

Why did you do that?


I want this driver tristate.
