so instead of taking of taking a three-liner which just makes sure this
can be used as "intended" you prefer to:
diff --git a/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-baytrail.c b/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-baytrail.c
index e12e5b0..254ba81 100644

I don't quite care since this is not an architecture I work for, but I
prefer drivers which can be unbound one way or another. Not to mention
that there's already a ->remove callback on the platform_driver anyway.
