device_set_of_node_from_dev() used to set dev->of_node_reused = true;
which made the pinctrl subsystem skip the logic inside
pinctrl_bind_pins().

Since you changed to device_set_node(), dev->of_node_reused is no longer
set to true and the following errors are issued because pinctrl will try
to request the same pins for all sub-devices.

Maybe we should set

dev->of_node_reused = true;

manually right above the call to device_set_node(), grouped with the
rest of dev initialization?
