There are more and mroe requirements that SoC specific modules should be built as module in order to support generic kernel image, such as Android GKI concept. This patch series supports i.MX8 SoCs pinctrl drivers to be built as module, including i.MX8MQ/MM/MN/MP/QXP/QM/DXL SoCs, and it also supports building i.MX common pinctrl driver and i.MX SCU common pinctrl driver as module. Compared to V4, the changes are as below: - remove unnecessary changes of replacing arch_initcall() with module_platform_driver() in each SoC pinctrl driver, to make sure no probe sequence change for built-in config. - add module author and description to each module.
