There is a pinctrl driver for each of the Ingenic SoCs supported by the
upstream Linux kernel. In order to switch away from the old GPIO
platform code, we now enable the pinctrl drivers by default for the
Ingenic SoCs.

So please tell me your desired merge strategy for these bits. I can
provide an immutable branch for pinctrl if you want to pull the deps in
or we can just merge this orthogonally in the MIPS tree and let things
smoothen together in the merge window.

This goes for everything outside of pinctrl/gpio.

If I should merge patches for other subsystems I need ACKs from
the maintainers of MIPS etc.

It is very unlikely that those patches will cause merge failures
if you merge it in your tree, these drivers are touched very rarely;
so I'd say you can merge them.

But to be sure I'd like Ralf's input on that.
