Unfortunately, the RMI4 driver does not support building the function drivers as modules. If F03 is built as a module it will not be loaded by the core. If we want f03 to be part of a module then rmi_core needs to be built as a module. We should remove the module macros currently in rmi_f03.c.
I was able to get a similar build error by setting CONFIG_RMI_CORE=y and CONFIG_SERIO=m. Was CONFIG_RMI_CORE=y set when you encountered this error? If so I think we should figure out a way to have Kconfig set CONFIG_RMI_CORE=m if serio is built as a module.
