I don't like this. The mvebu_pinctrl_soc_info structure is meant to be
a read-only structure that only describes static information giving
SoC-specific details for pin-muxing. The idea is that in the event
where you had multiple pinctrl in the same system, you would still have
only one instance of mvebu_pinctrl_soc_info.

So, I'd prefer if mpp_saved_regs and mpp_base became members of a new
structure, that gets allocated at ->probe() time, on a per-instance
basis.

Not sure how to handle that if the per-instance structure is defined on
a per-SoC basis, but I'm interested in seeing proposals.

Best regards,
