I need to change my saying here. I think we can link the
imx-ldb-helper with those two drivers respectively.
So, I assume imx-ldb-helper won't be a module, then.

And, I still don't think this series should touch the i.MX53/6qdl LDB
driver(imx-ldb).

If no strong opinions, I would try the updated option#1 for the next
version:

#1(updated) Make imx-ldb-helper an object that is just linked with the
imx8qxp-ldb driver and the imx8qm-ldb driver.
