All of my review comments on the first driver in the series goes
for this one as well, so copy/paste all my comments from there :D

The good thing is once you get it right in one driver you will get it
right in all of them.

Consider bringing all common code together in a main driver
shared by all these pin controllers as per the pattern of other
pin controllers (se qcom for example).

Yours,
