This driver relies on this array not being const, as it calculates 
remaining contents of the samsung_pin_bank struct dynamically.

Even though it is far from being elegant, it works correctly, because there 
is always one separate array per each pin controller instance. This could 
be improved by separating the constant part from the variable part or by 
using this array as a template, i.e. marking as __initdata and copying its 
contents, but I couldn't get myself to do that. Feel free to submit 
appropriate patches ;).

Best regards,
Tomasz
