I think this part of that change does it:

We were previously just keeping physmap_of_versatile in sync with physmap_of.
So it could be a module, even though CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_OF_VERSATILE was
'bool'.

This is kind of a weird scenario, since physmap_of actually depends on
*_versatile or *_gemini (when enabled). Maybe we should revert to something
like the original logic. We can even actually merge the 3 modules (and then
drop the EXPORT_*s too):

I'll cook that into a proper patch if it seems good.

Sounds good.
