Yes, the cover letter for this series needs to be a lot better. Sorry.
In summary, I found a bunch of drivers in defconfig that were getting
called in early_initcall and core_initcall even when the platform or
COMPILE_TEST was not enabled. So I was just trying to ring fence some
of those drivers as a proof of concept to see if these changes were
acceptable upstream.

Let me try again with a better cover letter and using the pattern Arnd
suggested elsewhere.
