I know there has been some discussion between Arnd and Jason Cooper
(who handles the pull requests for the overall mvebu effort) about this
specific topic. I think the outcome of the discussion was that Jason
would have to see how much the rest of the mvebu stuff depends on this
pinctrl/mvebu change and will see with Arnd how to proceed. But it's
certainly better if Jason gives you directly feedback about this.
