I think let's wait and see what the discussion on 0/4 lands on.  From 
your most recent comments I'm personally leaning it's best that 
"everything" is linked together as part of a single kernel object that 
happens to have a modalias that can let it auto-load from any one of the 
drivers.

That would mean you can put the helpers "between" drivers of that kernel 
object in a -common.c and use them as needed.  You can also avoid stuff 
like IS_REACHABLE because it all comes together as part of the kernel 
object.  You instead would just check if bound.

But let's see Armin's thoughts before you start moving things around.
