This patchset fixes the initial pinctrl support added for th g12a SoC
family, which is mainly around the register regions claimed by the
driver.

Linus, would it possible for you to provide a tag with these changes to
Kevin ?

ATM, we can only use the devices for which the pinmux is already set by
the bootloader. Enabling the broken pinctrl driver could cause regressions
in kernelCI. Having a tag, would allow us to start using pinctrl on this
SoC in this cycle, w/o regression. It would be nice :)

When you say "this cycle" do you mean I should target fixes (v5.0-rcN)
or next (v5.1) with these patches?

I was referring to the 5.1 release but it is a good question, I did not really
think about 5.0.

Those changes are mainly fixes, so guess it could go in the 5.0 but support
for this SoC is still in its early stages, so either way is fine by me. 

Whatever is simpler for you I guess ;)

Yours,
