Thanks for pointing this out, I'll take a look.

Sure, I'll add pin macros for L and M ports.

This is what I had in mind in the first place, but then I encountered
several issues when doing so:

 1) the gpio chip is not dynamically allocated but is declared as a
static variable instead
 2) we have to tweak the pinctrl base field, otherwise the pin numbers
overlap
 3) other things I haven't noticed yet :-)

I'll try to rework the driver to be able to declare 2 separated pin
controllers.

Fair enough. I'll modify it.

Sure, this is an oversight, I'm using get_maintainer and just forgot to
add Hans and the linux-sunxi ML. But I'll take care to add you, hans and
the sunxi ML in Cc next time.

Thanks for your review.
