If so, the pinctrl driver keeps the existing architecture, and use numbers instead in dts file. Or the pinctrl driver use bank mode acess, this may not be compatible with existing frameworks. This is done by adding of_xlate hook functions in pinctrl_chip struct.

Sorry could you rephrase, the sentence isn't clear.
