Hi Michal,

thanks for the very quick turnaround!

The whole expression above is a bit cumbersome (though correct). And 
since is_reset_mux isn't really needed, I'd suggest something like:

	u8 disabled_mux;
....
	if (pctl->flags & SUNXI_PINCTRL_NEW_REG_LAYOUT)
		disabled_mux = SUN4I_FUNC_DISABLED_NEW;
	else
		disabled_mux = SUN4I_FUNC_DISABLED_OLD;
	if (muxval == disabled_mux)
....

But yeah, in general this was what I had in mind.

Cheers,
Andre
