The way the driver was using to register was:
platform_driver_probe(&driver, driver_probe);

The function try to register the driver, one time and if the
dependences is not satisfied,
then there will not a next try, so the driver initialized that way can
not depends to anything
apart himself, or all the dependencies should be ready at the time the
driver_probe is called

I was thinking that driver can be compiled as module as other driver
but is bool and not tristate
