Hmmm. I'd be tempted just to put the entire node definition there;
putting in a .dtsi file just to share the reg property doesn't seem
especially useful.

If this is the only pinctrl instance, you'd typically name the node just
"pinctrl", since the "@d0018000" isn't needed to get unique node names.

What is "ranges" for; this isn't a memory-mapped bus, right?
