Sure, I'll shelf it and assume it will get back to tristate.

Note however that the patch I was looking at was not 326ea. It was

commit 6c741c74092c61465af206672ba567940a23d709
Author: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@chromium.org>
Date:   Tue Dec 22 21:46:37 2015 +0800

    pinctrl: mediatek: convert to arch_initcall

..and if you make it tristate again, you defeat the above change,
since if you look at module.h, you will see for the =m config:

 #define arch_initcall(fn)               module_init(fn)

...meaning that the change in 6c741c does nothing if =m is set.
I don't know if that is an issue or not, perhaps Daniel can comment.

Paul.
