Again, this is an already used pattern:

	https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.14-rc2/source/drivers/platform/x86/dell/Makefile#L14

I add configuration entries later. Is the order of the changes wrong? or
is it the entire approach? Do other modules here need a fix?

This is not my code, so a separate patch would be needed.

Same as above.

This was done for readibility. Also this would require a different
patch.

This is a good question. I'm not really sure how to fix this tho. Is it
fine to just pass a __packed struct? Also this would require another
patch.

I don't think so. `choices` belongs to this thread only.

This 3 files are a single module and it has two WMI drivers so this
can't be used.
