Subject: [PATCH V3 3/3] pinctrl: imx: Support building i.MX pinctrl core driver as module

Change PINCTRL_IMX to tristate to support loadable module build.

And i.MX common pinctrl driver should depend on CONFIG_OF to make sure
no build error when i.MX common pinctrl driver is enabled for different
architectures without CONFIG_OF.

Also add module author, description and license.

I don't see why you need to make this option user-visible when it is already
selected by the drivers that need it. Wouldn't it be enough to change
the 'bool' to 'tristate' without adding a prompt?

Make sense, so it is same for PINCTRL_IMX_SCU, right?

I wasn't on Cc on the other two patches, so I missed that.

Sorry, I missed to add you to the list as I just use the list from get_maintainer script, will
add you in V4. Since most of the major comments are addressed, I will send V4 soon.

Thanks,
