Thanks for a fix! My comments below.
Use the value read from the REVID register in order to check for the
presence of the device. A read of all ones is treated as if the device
is not present, and hence probing is ended.

This fixes an issue when running as a Xen PVH dom0, where the ACPI
DSDT table is provided unmodified to dom0 and hence contains the
pinctrl devices, but the MMIO region(s) containing the device
registers might not be mapped in the guest physical memory map if such
region(s) are not exposed on a PCI device BAR or marked as reserved in
the host memory map.
Any particular point that we can use in the Fixes tag?

Hmm... was it that address I have used? In any case I think my @linux.intel.com
is better.

I think -ENODEV is more appropriate here.
Also comment above should be adjusted to explain this check.
