I don't think that (calling pinmux from drivers) would be a good idea.
The entire pinmux should be set up globally when the system boots in
order to avoid conflicts part-way through a change, and to avoid
duplicating pinmux calls into every single driver. Unless a particular
driver actively needs to switch between different pinmux configurations
at run-time (e.g. an I2C bus mux that uses pinmux to do the muxing).

That said, this change to simplify all the #includes is probably
reasonable. One comment below.

I think we should just rip out all the CONFIG_SPI_UART_SWITCH stuff.
It's only there to support one board with a completely broken HW design.
Still, that could happen in a separate patch after this though.
