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.

This patch series also changed the driver initcall level from arch_initcall to module_init.
Maybe you could provide some test information to help the reviewer to better understand
the change impact.

Compared to V2, the changes are as below:
	- add "depends on OF" to PINCTRL_IMX to fix build error using x86
randconfig;
	- change the config dependency of PINCTRL_IMX_SCU to support scenario
of
	  building in PINCTRL_IMX while building PINCTRL_IMX_SCU as module,
no other
	  good choice in my mind, if you have better idea without changing the
driver
	  code, please advise.
