I don't think that can work. In cec-notifier.h:

#if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_CEC_CORE) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CEC_NOTIFIER)

And CEC_CORE is not reachable from the tda998x, so all the cec_notifier
functions become dummies.

It compiles, but the physical address never gets set.

'select CEC_CORE if CEC_NOTIFIER' will ensure CEC_CORE=y and the #if above
resolves to true.
