I am fine, it is just because checking the function callback before calling it is better.
I can remove it if you insist to NOT check it. If there is other comment, will remove
them together in next version.

Combine PINCTRL_IMX_SCU and PINCTRL_IMX is NOT making sense, since for non-SCU
platforms, PINCTRL_IMX_SCU is NOT necessary, to make PINCTRL_IMX_SCU same value
as PINCTRL_IMX, unless make "select PINCTRL_IMX_SCU" in PINCTRL_IMX, but that is
also NOT making sense, because, PINCTRL_IMX does NOT depends on PINCTRL_IMX_SCU
at all.
The change is NOT that big IMO, and no better idea in my mind, have tried that in previous versions
of patch series.
