I was thinking that instead of having one pinctrl-ingenic instance covering

I could just have 6 instances of pinctrl-ingenic, each one with an instance
of gpio-ingenic declared as a sub-node, each handling just 0x100 of memory
space.

My head is spinning,  but I think I get it. What is wrong with the solution
I proposed with one pin control instance covering the whole 0x600 and with 6
subnodes of GPIO?

The GPIO nodes do not even have to have an address range associated with
them you know, that can be distributed out with regmap code accessing
the parent regmap.
