Only 8 different variants of one SoC! Currently, there are 5 for
Kirkwood, none for Dove. I think there are two more Kirkwood's that
never appeared in public, but it is still < 8.

Ok, I clarify whats meant by mvebu_*_ctrl/ctrl_setting/mode. I am not
that happy with that names either, but honestly pinctrl core already
took all names that I'd have chosen. Therefore, I chose some that do
not interfere with pinctrl core as the meaning is different.
