I think as a regression fix for the -rc series, we should use Mika's
patch with the following tweaks:
1. Instead of adding yet another devm_pinctrl_register_and_init(),
let's just make devm_pinctrl_register_and_init() not call start
automatically. If people prefer to use Mika's naming for it
with nostart, I have no problem with that. But let's then rename
the current devm_pinctrl_register_and_init() so we are not stuck
with another interface with issues.
2. Update the four drivers using devm_pinctrl_register_and_init()
to also call start separately.
Mika, care to update your patch for that?

Tony
