Actually what happend is it got sent quite some time ago, but Linus
didn't merge it because he wanted some Acks[1] and a resend.  Shortly
after Sylwester provided an ack.

So with that in mind, I decided to restart with the most simple pinctrl
patches 1st, and hence it took a while to finally get back to this one
in the final series.  But I didn't want to change an ack'd patch.

Not that it matters, but just in case you were curious.

Thanks,
Paul.
