AFAIK, Exynos5440 contains a completely different pin controller block, which 
is not compatible with pinctrl-samsung driver, so I don't see any point of 
moving it under PINCTRL_EXYNOS, which is currently used for Exynos 4210, 4x12 
and 5250, but will be also extended with driver data for S5PV210 as well.

I'd say that CPU_EXYNOS4210, SOC_EXYNOS4212, SOC_EXYNOS4412 and SOC_EXYNOS5250 
should select PINCTRL_EXYNOS and SOC_EXYNOS5440 should be left as is, 
selecting PINCTRL_EXYNOS5440.
