Ohh, yeah I missed that.

This comes from the request of having everything as a module, to reduce the
size of the multi-platform ARM builds. I would say that the important part
related to that would be to keep the platform specific tables in modules.

But keeping these parts as modules would still mean that it's a module that
install the chained irq handler.

@Linus, I'm not sure about what should be module and not in pinctrl, but this
part of pinctrl-msm is less important then the others to be able to be compiled
as a module.

FWIW;
