So kept it as a separate module. Waiting for your comments on that. That doesn't work because you reference the methods in it so it will always be dragged in. You would have to make the exar driver an MFD that provided a serial and a gpio binding to fix that up I think, or instead of having the serial driver call into your gpio driver (thus forcing the module into memory) you would have the serial driver create a platform device or similar that the GPIO device bound to.
