My intention is to separate arm_cspmu_impl, arm_cspmu, and
vendor backend into different modules. Here is the dependency I have in mind:

                                               arm_cspmu_impl
                                                     ____|____
                                                    |                  |
                                    arm_cspmu               nvidia_cspmu

This helps during device probe that the call to request_module can be made
as a blocking call and the backend init_impl_ops will always be ready to use after
request_module returns. The code seems simpler this way. Could you please
elaborate the potential issue that might arise with this approach?

After reading your other comments on built-in kernel, can we use late_initcall
for arm_cspmu module to assume that the main driver will always be init'ed after
backend module ?

The main reason is to remove backend module (nvidia_cspmu) 
dependency to main driver.

My intention is to make the event and format attribute macro
on the header file to be reusable for the backend module. The event/format
attribute on the other PMUs is pretty generic, so I thought it would be
harmless.

The backend module does not depend on the main driver module anymore
(please see my top comment). The blocking call to request_module should be
able to return.

Ok, it's reasonable I think. One reason I also did the name check is to make sure
that it is the "correct" module. But I guess I can add a WARN_ON in case another 
module register an entry that was already registered.

Sure.

Sure.

Ah yes, you are right, thanks for catching this.

Got it.

Sure, I will add the WARN_ON and warning on falling back to generic path.

Agree, this condition needs to be check.

Yup, that is the expectation. It is still good to validate the module pointer right ?
Or do you think it will hide a bug, if any ?
