Whopeedo. If I understand the fine devicetree folks you may
remove this stuff from the devicetree, but the code in the new
pin control driver should still be backward-compatible with
devicetrees that look like this.

It's not like I care, just noting that this is the philosophy around
such things.

Yours,
