irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Allow building as module

This patch makes the imx-irqsteer driver buildable as a module by changing
the Kconfig symbol to tristate. It also replaces builtin_platform_driver()
with module_platform_driver() and adds the necessary module metadata.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this leak the PM runtime usage counter on module unload?

When module unloading is enabled by this change, unloading the driver calls
imx_irqsteer_remove(). 

In that function, pm_runtime_resume_and_get() is called without a balancing
put:

drivers/irqchip/irq-imx-irqsteer.c:imx_irqsteer_remove() {
        ...
	pm_runtime_resume_and_get(&pdev->dev);
        ...
}

Because the driver core does not reset this usage count on device unbind,
and there is no balancing pm_runtime_put_noidle() before the function
exits, the PM runtime usage count is incremented permanently.

If the module is subsequently reloaded, will it start with an elevated
usage count, preventing the device from entering runtime suspend and leaving
its clock enabled indefinitely?
