There is no reason why the arizona core,irq and codec model specific regmap bits cannot be build as a module. All they do is export symbols which are used by the arizona-spi/i2c and arizona-codec modules, which themselves can be built as module. Change the Kconfig and Makefile arizona bits so that the arizona MFD-core can be built as a module. This is especially useful on x86 platforms with a WM5102 codec, this allows the arizona MFD driver necessary for the WM5102 codec to be enabled in generic distro-kernels without growing the base kernel-image size. Note this also adds an explicit "depends on MFD_ARIZONA" to all the arizona codec Kconfig options. The codec drivers use functions from mfd arizona-core. These new depends are necessary to disallow the codec drivers being builtin when the arizona-core is build as a module, otherwise we end up with missing symbol errors when building vmlinuz.

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.
