OK. The driver should probably operate like this then:

* During probe(), parse the ti,mux-pad* parameters, if present, and
apply them. This is needed to maintain compatibility with old DTs that
may contain these properties.

* At the end of probe(), register the pinctrl driver. If standard
pinctrl properties are present in DT, these will then be applied. These
may override the values set by any ti,mux-pad* properties if they were
present.

Also, we should remove, or mark deprecated, the ti,mux-pad* properties
in the binding document when adding pinctrl support.
