This adds some module specific boilerplate. Was it perhaps your
intention to make PINCTRL_SUN8I_H3 a tristate symbol?
I don't know to be honest, I just followed the pattern of all the other
pinctrl-sun?i-*.c files. But it sounds logical that this is needless
in the current state.

Looks like it got introduced when splitting up the driver:

Maybe there were plans to use separate modules some day. If not, we
should remove it from the other files as well I guess. Maxime, could
you please comment on that?
I don't see anything wrong with building those as modules.
