Having DRM_SUN4I built-in but DRM_SUN8I_MIXER as a loadable module results in a link error, as we try to access a symbol from the sun8i_tcon_top.ko module:

This solves the problem by making DRM_SUN8I_MIXER a 'bool' symbol, building the sun8i_tcon_top module the same way as the core sun4i-drm module whenever DRM_SUN8I_MIXER is enabled, or not building it at all otherwise.
Alternatively, we could always build sun8i_tcon_top.ko along with sun4-drm.ko and detach it from the mixer module, I could not tell which way is more appropriate here.
If that's easily doable, then yeah, that would be the preferred option I guess. Jernej? Chen-Yu? Any opinion on this?
