In this series, I have organized v2 and sorted out a common interface for Aspeed and Starfive: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260905102901.126035-1-changhuang.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This new series does not affect the previous usage. I am not yet sure how to implement this 
functionality in pinctrl. So I may temporarily proceed with this series based on my v2 approach. 
Of course, if anyone has any new ideas, feel free to give me feedback.

Best Regards,
Changhuang
