PINCTRL_SUN8I_A33 is a bool symbol, so pinctrl-sun8i-a33.o will never be
part of a module, right?

(The series starting at https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/131 would allow
to use builtin_platform_driver() for  built-in only code.)

This adds some module specific boilerplate. Was it perhaps your
intention to make PINCTRL_SUN8I_A33 a tristate symbol? If I understand
Maxime correctly drivers like these can be made modular (see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/9/96 ).

Thanks,
