On Lemans and Monaco EVK platforms the boot-from-SD-card feature requires an IO expander to be enabled at an early stage to detect the SD card. This IO expander is connected over I2C. Currently the I2C driver is built as a loadable module which resides on the SD card along with other modules. This creates a circular dependency where to detect the SD card the IO expander must be initialized the IO expander depends on the I2C driver and the I2C driver is on the SD card which cannot be accessed until detection succeeds. To break this dependency enable I2C_QCOM_GENI as built-in so that the driver is available during early boot. Signed-off-by: Viken Dadhaniya <viken.dadhaniya@oss.qualcomm.com>
