That sounds like the wrong approach since it prevents
compile-testing one of the drivers in an allmodconfig
build.

I have no specific interest in either of the drivers, just
trying to fix the build regression. I see no harm in exporting
the symbols, but I can refactor the drivers to link all three
files into the same module and add a hack to register both
platform_driver instances from a shared module_init() if
you think that's better. Unfortunately we can't have more
than one initcall in a loadable module.
