A quick test shows the following Kconfig to work as desired, selecting one
or both buses as modules builds the driver as a module, if ether are
selected as built-in the whole driver is built-in.

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX
	tristate
	depends on (BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C || BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM)
	default y

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C
	tristate "BQ27xxx I2C support"
	depends on I2C
	help
	  Say Y here to enable support for batteries with BQ27xxx (I2C) chips.

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM
	tristate "BQ27xxx HDQ support"
	help
	  Say Y here to enable support for batteries with BQ27xxx (HDQ) chips.

We would then have to change:
#ifdef CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C

to

#if defined(CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C) || defined(CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C_MODULE)

(same for CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM)
