I've sent several patch series for the SH PFC (Pin Function Controller) to the
linux-sh mailing list. One of the series included pinctrl core patches for
easier testing, but I made it clear that they should *not* be pushed to
mainline through the SH tree.

Actually the whole PFC series have been found out today by Guennadi
Liakhovetski to be buggy. I will fix the problems and send a new version. In
the meantime the pinmux-pinctrl and pinmux-dt series should not be pushed to
mainline.
