Any patches welcome.
However we cannot *require* DT for pinctrl to work, there are archs that do not use DT and these must also be able to use pinctrl. For example arch/blackfin have expressed interest IIRC.
Then the question of whether to also support mixed configs where some callers get data from DT and some from platform data. I suspect that this is necessary for the single kernel goal.
