Having them in the board file is appropriate, what I object to is the
selection by Kconfig.  Run-time detection is always preferred when
possible.

This is the preferred option to me.

Why do you need sysfs options for switching?  Wouldn't building as
modules and loading/unloading the needed modules serve the same
purpose?

Remeber that the 'probe' isn't going to be called until the platform_driver
is registered, and that will (usually) happen at module load time.
