I think that we can actually drop the whole devm_pinctrl_get().
I'll wait for some comments from Ulf before submitting a fix.

AFAIR from a discussion with Amlogic it seems that they totally
changed the SD controller in the S905 so probably we will need a new
driver for the gxbb. At this point I also wonder if it's not worthy it
already to change the compatible for this driver to something more
specific for Meson8 / Meson8b.
Probably we will have some more news when the documentation will be available.

Thank you for testing this,
