Our driver doesn't use 'strict'. The thing is that I can't describe a
pinctrl state for GPIO. GPIO is the default state until another function
is requested. Back to GPIO currently means freeing the pin again, so it
defaults back to GPIO. We are currently discussing it. Geert (CCed)
isn't very happy of describing the same pins with 'function = "gpio"'
because the Kernel already knows the mapping, just needs to revert it.
Geert, please correct me if I am wrong.

Well, no need for sh_mobile, this is my todo item :) About PXA, well, I
am still happy that you volunteered to do it, so I hope you had a
relaxing vacation!

Happy hacking,
