I don't think we need a separate config, it can just use
CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV.

I don't think we'll ever want to turn it off for powernv, unless we're
trying to build a small kernel, in which case we'll turn of PERF
entirely.

We don't need that level of paranoia :)

Hmm, that's a bit unusual. Is there any particular reason to do that for
this driver?

This can't be built as a module, so it should not be using MODULE macros.

Drop that.

Use builtin_platform_driver().

Drop those.

That doesn't need the #ifdef.

Neither here.
