Subject: RE: [PATCH V5 1/9] pinctrl: imx: Support building SCU pinctrl driver as
module

quoted

From: Anson Huang <redacted>
Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2020 7:35 PM

To support building i.MX SCU pinctrl driver as module, below things
need to be
changed:

    - Export SCU related functions and use "IS_ENABLED" instead of
      "ifdef" to support SCU pinctrl driver user and itself to be
      built as module;
    - Use function callbacks for SCU related functions in pinctrl-imx.c
      in order to support the scenario of PINCTRL_IMX is built in
      while PINCTRL_IMX_SCU is built as module;
    - All drivers using SCU pinctrl driver need to initialize the
      SCU related function callback;
    - Change PINCTR_IMX_SCU to tristate;
    - Add module author, description and license.

With above changes, i.MX SCU pinctrl driver can be built as module.

Pointer check here seems not be necessary

I think it is NOT harmful and it is just in case the drivers using scu pinctrl
do NOT initialize these functions callback and lead to NULL pointer dump.

Compared with V4, this new implementation seems a bit complicated.
I guess we don't have to support PINCTRL_IMX=y && PINCTRL_IMX_SCU=m
case.
Will that make the support a bit easier?

I am NOT sure if such scenario meets requirement, the fact is other non-i.MX SoC
also selects the PINCTRL_IMX which will make PINCTRL_IMX=y, so in that case, even
all i.MX PINCTRL drivers are set to module, it will still have PINCTRL_IMX=y and PINCTRL_IMX_SCU=m,
then build will fail. And I believe the auto build test may also cover such case and build
error will be reported, that is why this change is needed and with this change, function
is NOT impacted,

Anson.
