Subject: MIPS: CDMM: Add builtin_mips_cdmm_driver() macro

From: James Hogan <[email protected]>

commit 1b4a5ddb127caf125e14551ebd334be1acf21805 upstream.

Add helper macro builtin_mips_cdmm_driver() for builtin CDMM drivers that don't do anything special in init and have no exit. The module_mips_cdmm_driver() helper isn't really appropriate for drivers that can't be built as a module.
