Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] soc: qcom: rpmpd: Allow RPMPD driver to be loaded as a module

This patch allow the rpmpd driver to be loaded as a permenent
module. Meaning it can be loaded from a module, but then cannot
be unloaded.

Ideally, it would include a remove hook and related logic, but
apparently the genpd code isn't able to track usage and cleaning
things up? (See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/24/38)

So making it a permenent module at least improves things slightly
over requiring it to be a built in driver.

Feedback would be appreciated!

v2:
* Fix MODULE_LICENSE to be GPL v2 as suggested by Bjorn
* Leave initcall as core_initcall, since that switches to module_initcall
  only when built as a module, also suggested by Bjorn
* Add module tags taken from Rajendra's earlier patch
