I cannot make it const here, since the address of "gpio_mux" is later
passed to pinctrl_pin_desc's private data:

pins[i].drv_data = &cygnus_pins[i].gpio_mux;
The pinctrl code says:

"@drv_data: driver-defined per-pin data. pinctrl core does not touch
this"

so we could theoretically cast away the constness and restore it when
we access drv_data in pin control methods, but I won't insist. I am
not sure which way looks nicer.

Thanks.
Yeah, I agreed that by declaring the cygnus_pins array const, it makes
it more obvious that "we do not expect any of its parameters to change."
But later if we cast &gpio_mux to void * before assigned to drv_data of
pinctrl_pin_desc, we sort of break it up...I'll keep this part of code
as it is for now.

Thanks,

Ray
