Subject: misc/bmp085: Enable building as a module

From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]>

commit 50e6315dba721cbc24ccd6d7b299f1782f210a98 upstream.

Commit 985087dbcb02 'misc: add support for bmp18x chips to the bmp085 driver' changed the BMP085 config symbol to a boolean. I see no reason why the shared code cannot be built as a module, so change it back to tristate.

Fixes 985087dbcb02 ("misc: add support for bmp18x chips to the bmp085 driver")
