Building the kryo cpufreq driver while QCOM_SMEM is a loadable module
results in a link error:

drivers/cpufreq/qcom-cpufreq-kryo.o: In function `qcom_cpufreq_kryo_probe':
qcom-cpufreq-kryo.c:(.text+0xbc): undefined reference to `qcom_smem_get'

The problem is that Kconfig ignores interprets the dependency as met
when the dependent symbol is a 'bool' one. By making it 'tristate',
it will be forced to be a module here, which builds successfully.

Okay, so we really need this to be a module. But the driver can't really work as
a module right now if we do this: insmod, rmmod, insmod. Because it doesn't free
resources at rmmmod and will fail on second insmod.

Because what you are fixing is a critical build error, we better get it merged
right now.

But Ilia needs to cook another patch to add the module removal code for the
driver and mark your patch's commit id in the fixes tag.

Viresh got ahead of my answer a bit. :)
Sure I'll post the module exit later.
