Hello,

The call chain leading to the problem is:

 gpiochip_add_data()
  chip->request() == gpiochip_generic_request()
   pinctrl_request_gpio()
    pinmux_request_gpio()
     pin_request()
      ops->gpio_request_enable() == mvebu_pinmux_gpio_request_enable()
       mvebu_pinconf_group_set()
        grp->ctrl->mpp_set() == mvebu_regmap_mpp_ctrl_set()

So what Timur is saying perhaps is that
mvebu_pinmux_gpio_request_enable() shouldn't be changing the type of
muxing, and therefore shouldn't be calling mvebu_pinconf_group_set().

However, even the "reference" pinctrl-single.c implementation does it,
in pcs_request_gpio().

Am I missing something ?
