Oh, I just spent some 45 minutes reviewing an 8xxx pinctrl driver from
BjÃrn Andersson
that *seems* to be doing exactly the same thing.

Now I have two drivers from people outside Qualcomm :-)

Some of my review comments on BjÃrn's driver (like using SI units with the pin
config) are actually adressed in this patch set. The idea to split in subdrivers
per-ASIC may be good? I don't really know.

Can you two guys *PLEASE* join efforts and combine your drivers into one?

If we do this efficiently it should be possible to get one single real
nice driver
in the end.

If you start arguing about nittt gritty stuff like who's going to be author on
the commit I'll get really disappointed ;-)

Yours,
