Commit 3ef9f710efcb ("pinctrl: mediatek: Add EINT support for multiple
addresses") introduced an access to the 'soc' field of struct
mtk_pinctrl in mtk_eint_do_init() and for that an include of
pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.h.
However, pinctrl drivers relying on the v1 common driver include
pinctrl-mtk-common.h instead, which provides another definition of
struct mtk_pinctrl that does not contain an 'soc' field.
Since mtk_eint_do_init() can be called both by v1 and v2 drivers, it
will now try to dereference an invalid pointer when called on v1
platforms. This has been observed on Genio 350 EVK (MT8365), which
crashes very early in boot (the kernel trace can only be seen with
earlycon).
In order to fix this, given that this if code block is only relevant for
platforms with multiple EINT bases, and the previous if block already
handles the single base case, add an else statement so this if condition
will never even be evaluated on platforms with a single EINT base, which
covers all v1 platforms following commit fe412e3a6c97 ("pinctrl:
mediatek: common-v1: Fix EINT breakage on older controllers").
