Hm I'm all in the blue as to what a "pinctrl-gpio driver" is ... I'm
confused :-)

One problem I have is that I still don't really understand if this is a pin
mux, i.e. changing the connection to a certain device onto some actual
*PIN* or just some other mux muxing some certain line from one silicon
block to another.

I don't know, because I don't know exactly what you mean by
"pinctrl-gpio".
