We found this issue and already have a patch to resolve the problem.
The issue is that we cannot have configfs as a module when our driver is
compiled into the kernel.  The solution is to use the similar Kconfig
logic we used for PTP (which had the same issue) for configfs.

I should have the patch pushed upstream in the next batch of patches I
push upstream.
