Re: [PATCH V2 3/3] pinctrl: Add Pistachio SoC pin control driver

[Paul Bolle <pebolle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The patch adds a mismatch between the Kconfig symbol (a bool) and the
code (which suggests that a modular build is also possible).

This adds a bool symbol.

So pinctrl-pistachio.o will never be part of a module.

Chances are this include is not needed.

According to include/linux/export.h THIS_MODULE is equivalent to NULL,
so this can probably be dropped.

Ditto.

According to include/linux/module.h this will be preprocessed away.

This seems to be equivalent to adding a wrapper that does
    platform_driver_register(&pistachio_pinctrl_driver);

and marking that wrapper with device_initcall(). I don't think there's
one line macro to do that.

These macros will (basically) be preprocessed away.
