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.

There are still some more changes in V4 I just sent out, which is to cover
various config combination, will add test info in next version.

I will keep the arch_initcall() there in next version patch series, it can make sure the
change does NOT impact built-in config. For module build, the arch_initcall() will
be same as module_init(), user needs to insmod the .ko with correct sequence.
