Subject: [PATCH] reset: meson: make it possible to build as a module

In order to reduce the kernel Image size on multi-platform distributions,
make it possible to build the reset controller driver as a module.

This partially reverts 8290924e ("reset: meson: make it explicitly non-modular")

How about an actual dependency like:

depends on ARCH_MESON || COMPILE_TEST
default ARCH_MESON
?

That way the option won't be presented to users where it's completely
irrelevant, e.g. running "make oldconfig" with an x86 distro config. It
always bugs me when I rebase a branch and have to manually confirm that
indeed I don't want to build random drivers specific to x86/RISC-V/etc.
SoCs for my arm64 config... ;)

You're right, thanks for pointing me this.

I tried this as as a module, and it never probed because it's missing
this on the compatible table:

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, meson_reset_dt_ids);

With that minor change:
