From a function API PoV, I guess it would make more sense and be
cleaner to simply pass the sunxi_pinctrl_desc structure (as the first
argument) and have the function there read that structure and act upon
it.

Giving it just a blank pointer, without any size indication, and
either dereferencing it without any boundary check, or changing the
behaviour based on whether it's null or not seems pretty fragile.

I guess you could do it in two patches. One to change the function
prototypes to call the sunxi_irq_cfg_reg function (and all its caller)
to have the prototype (struct sunxi_pinctrl_desc *desc, u16 irq).

And then in a later patch change the behaviour to introduce the map.

Thanks!
Maxime
