The PMIC drivers directly will be, but the users of gpios/irqs and
regulators coming from the PMIC will only depend on the generic APIs for
this.  In theory, the deferred probe should handle this, and it might
be useful for testing.

I can allow it to be a module, although I don't picture that really
being a useful configuration.
