Does that mean the entire shebang needs to be merged through the
pinctrl subsystem?

If this patch stands on it's own, I think it's proper to merge it into
the DT for-next tree now, since we don't know if this entire series
will make it into the next merge window.

If the patch would anyway happen to end up in two trees,
no big deal.

Rob, can you merge it?

Thanks,
Linus Walleij
