Yeah it is a bit a wording thing: In my understanding, pinctrl is
required on SoC's witch have a pin controller... It is just that the
driver does not need to get the pinctrl by itself because the stack is
taking care of it implicitly. And yes, that makes the particular example
not a real world example.

At first I thought, too, that it's a fatal problem if getting the
pinctrl stuff fails. IMHO that shows that the comments (or the code) are
still not good enough.

Ya.  If it has confused more than one people, it is likely to confuse
more.  I agree with you that we should make it more clear.

Thanks,
