Yes... I didn't find any best way to do so. It was either that or
duplicate the already existing informations we had about the pins ranges
into a ranges array, which is pretty error-prone.

I guess I could add some comments though.

Ok, will do. But we need to find a way to share the pins arrays between
the pinctrl and gpio drivers then.

Maybe add a pinctrl-sunxi-pins.h file? or merge the pinctrl and gpio
drivers?

I'm kind of reluctant to merging the drivers into one single messy file,
but if that's the way to go, fine.

Ok. Thanks for your review!
