Yes. I have replied there. I thought to reuse pinctrl-scmi.c with minimal
changes, but since the binding changes in v3, I need to made big changes.

Anyway I agree with your suggestions to decouple the two drivers.
I will do that in v4. Before that, I need wait for dt-maintainers to review
the binding changes in v3.

Peng.
