I can tell you that without a syscon node in the mix somewhere the 
driver will fail to load. And when I switch to 
mvebu_pinctrl_simple_mmio_probe() the driver loads but then kernel 
panics when something tries to use one of the pin functions.

So I think the syscon is needed. I just need to come up with a better 
justification than "because it's needed".
