This is a side-effect of Simon's pinctrl driver. I guess we need to find 
a better/different way of getting the driver to notice this device to 
set up the default pinctrl mappings through device tree.

And, while I agree about this breaking git bisect, I'm not too worried 
about this right now as this isn't something we're pushing upstream yet. 
I expect this to be merged into the commits that add the i2c/spi drivers 
and device tree in one go.

Cheers,
Chris
