It turns out that some pinctl users seem to depend on this broken
situation., with at least

  drivers/pinctrl/core.c
  drivers/media/platform/sti/c8sectpfe/c8sectpfe-core.c
  drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-ocelot.c
  drivers/pinctrl/bcm/pinctrl-iproc-gpio.c

expecting to magically get some of the pinctrl function declarations
not through some pinctrl header file, but just from <linux/device.h>.

Adding that include to <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> would seem to make
those happy and make 'allmodconfig' build for me.

But I'm only testing x86-64. Can somebody test at least arm too?

Stupid patch attached. I don't know how much this helps the insane
dependency hell for <linux/pinctrl/devinfo.h>, but it's bound to help
_some_.

Comments?
