Subject: [PATCH 0/6] pinctrl: trivial demodularization of builtin code

This list of changes represents pinctrl drivers that use MODULE_<xyz>
tags but otherwise don't make use of any other module_<xyz> functions
or macros.

Since the former are no-ops when built-in, we simply remove these
MODULE_<xyz> tags and the module.h include that provides them, while
ensuring the information in the tag is properly represented in the
file at the comments at the top or similar.

Since these tags are no-ops, and we don't remove any orphaned fcns
for __exit or .remove support here, the drivers are binary equivalent
before and after this change -- i.e. zero runtime regression risk.

Paul.
