Enable building driver as a module. The expected use case is the driver is built as a module, is installed when needed, and cannot be removed once installed since it is not possible to clean-up the irq_chip data structures on removal, as described in: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/87y1wgbah8.wl-maz@kernel.org/ The driver has .suppress_bind_attrs set to true for the same reasons (ie prevent unbinding, that would leave the kernel with stale IRQ configuration that cannot be cleaned up).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
