If CONFIG_INPUT=m, we get a build error for the rmi4-f03 driver,

If we make the driver itself a 'tristate' instead of 'bool' symbol,
Kconfig ensures that it can only be a loadable module in this case,
which avoids the problem.

Unfortunately, the RMI4 driver does not support building the function drivers as modules. If F03 is built as a module it will not be loaded by the core. If we want f03 to be part of a module then rmi_core needs to be built as a module. We should remove the module macros currently in rmi_f03.c.

I was able to get a similar build error by setting CONFIG_RMI_CORE=y and CONFIG_SERIO=m. Was CONFIG_RMI_CORE=y set when you encountered this error? If so I think we should figure out a way to have Kconfig set CONFIG_RMI_CORE=m if serio is built as a module.
