Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] pinctrl: Add driver for Alphascale asm9260 pinctrl

[Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl>]

This patch adds a mismatch between the Kconfig symbol (bool) and the
code (which assumes a modular built too).

This adds a bool symbol.

So this object can now only be built-in.

This include is probably not needed.

THIS_MODULE is, basically, equivalent to NULL for built-in code.

This will be preprocessed away for built-in code.

The built-in equivalent of this seems to be a wrapper that
only does
    platform_driver_register(&asm9260_pinctrl_driver);

and mark that wrapper as a device_initcall(). There appears to be no
macro that does all that in one line.

These three macros will be, effectively, preprocessed away for built-in
code. (By the way, you probably want to use "GPL v2" as the license
ident if it would be possible to build this code modular.)
