Oh, I'm glad we now have these checks in. We found quite a few oddities
thanks to those.

OK, I'll whip up a patch shortly. Should I also address the handful of
other non-TYPE_NONE that we have in the tree:

	drivers/gpio/gpio-sx150x.c
	drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-nomadik.c
	drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-coh901.c
	drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-st.c

But the bigger question is whether or not there is any value in the
pinctrl driver providing a default value at all. Do we have any case
where the trigger information is not provided by the firmware (DT or
ACPI), and where we rely on the default being set?

Thanks,

	M.
