I think at least the ipuv3 core should be a separate module since this
could be used without drm support (for the input pathes, handled via v4l2)

The final module name shouldn't matter, we can change it.

Does a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(imx_drm_crtc_id) help fixing the problem?

At least I explicitly made this work when writing the IPU stuff, but I
must admit that we mostly use monolithic kernels here.
