Register and field widths are in the range 1..32. Storing them in the
pinctrl data in (arrays of) unsigned long wastes space.

This decreases the size of a (32-bit) shmobile_defconfig kernel
supporting 7 SoCs by 26460 bytes.

This 2/4 is not ACKed so pausing application after 1/4.

Is 3,4/4 independent of this patch?

Unfortunately not, as there are contextual dependencies.

Laurent: Is 2/4 OK for you as-is? Your comments about the size of reg are
not related to "Store register/field widths in u8 instead of unsigned long",
and thus an area for future improvement.

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
