You realize that every include of this file will add these static 
variables to file, in this case to pinctrl-lpass-lpi.c, 
pinctrl-sm8250-lpass-lpi.c and pinctrl-sc7280-lpass-lpi.c
so in first file(pinctrl-lpass-lpi.c) you never use those variables in 
second file (pinctrl-sm8250-lpass-lpi.c)you only use up to gpio13 and in 
third file pinctrl-sc7280-lpass-lpi.c you could use them.

so its really bad idea to add static variables in header files.
