This note hasn't got much to do with the driver code itself.  Either you
want to enable compiling the driver as a module, then use tristate
instead of bool; or it isn't an option and then remove the corresponding
paragraph from the documentation.  The latter is improbable, and a
quick look at the code seems to confirm that the driver was actually
intended to be used as a module.  So I suggest replacing bool with
tristate.  But I don't know anything at all about this driver or device.
