Ok, understood. What with current static globals, like mpp_base? This
is a problem when we consider hypothetical multi-pintrl system...

In genereal, I think storing additional global data is not
starightforward, as dev->platform_data and dev->driver_data are
currently occupied by mvebu_pinctrl and mvebu_pinctrl_soc_info. I
propose the following:

1. Create a new structure:
struct mvebu_pinctrl_pm_info {
    void __iomem *base;
    static u32 *mpp_saved_regs;
    int nregs;
}

2. Add new field to struct mvebu_pinctrl:
struct mvebu_pinctrl_pm_info *pm_info;

3. In armada_38x/xp_pinctrl_probe we do the allocations and pass
struct pm_info using dev->driver data (later in mvebu_pinctrl_probe it
will be replaced by struct mvebu_pinctrl):
platform_set_drvdata(pdev, pm_info);

return mvebu_pinctrl_probe(pdev);

4. In mvebu_pinctrl_probe:
struct mvebu_pinctrl_pm_info *pm_info = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
(...)

if (pm_info)
    pctl->pm_info = pm_info;
platform_set_drvdata(pdev, pctl);

5. Now, we can simply use all stored data in common
mvebu_pinctrl_suspend/resume.

I hope the above is clear. I'm looking forward to your opinion.

Beste regards,
Marcin
