Thanks for your review Linus! I don't have time to rewrite using
regmap-mmio at the moment though. I have discussed with the driver
author and we will first patch the pinctrl driver by making the
pinctrl functions use the gpio-mmio accessors instead of directly reg
read/writes. When I have time I will look into your suggestion to
improve the driver.
