[PATCH v3 2/2] pmdomain: imx: scu-pd: allow building as a module
From: Zhipeng . wang_1
Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 03:18:15 EST
From: Zhipeng Wang <zhipeng.wang_1@xxxxxxx>
Convert CONFIG_IMX_SCU_PD from bool to tristate to allow building as a
loadable module. This is needed on Android devices using the Generic
Kernel Image (GKI), where SoC-specific drivers must be built as modules
rather than built into the core kernel image.
For i.MX8Q devices running Android with a GKI kernel, the SCU power
domain driver must be loadable. Without tristate support, power domains
cannot be properly initialized, preventing these systems from
functioning under GKI.
Use subsys_initcall() so that when built-in the power domain provider
probes before its consumers (e.g. the SCU clock driver at
device_initcall level), fixing "failed to attached the power domain"
warnings at boot. When built as a module, subsys_initcall() is
equivalent to module_init(). No module_exit() is provided because the
SCU power domain provider is a system-level resource that cannot be
safely removed at runtime.
Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() for OF-based module autoloading.
