What is ATF? Asus Touch Firmware?

Does it in effect mean that when the Rockchip pinctrl driver
says pinctrl_force_sleep() and pinctrl_force_default()
it expects those to be a noop?

Then the real patch to apply is something deleting the
pinctrl_force* calls from the pinctrl-rockchip driver,
is it not?
