I can't remember clearly but i encountered a strange issue before
that the format was not what i want with KERN_DEBUG...
But i just tried your patch and it did not appear.
So i'm ok with this change.

Also need removed?

BTW, it would be better if the change the patch title to:
"pinctrl: pinctrl-imx: ...."

Otherwise,
