Thanks!

We already have some device links in pin control, it's an opt-in for
drivers, used e.g in drivers/pinctrl/stm32/pinctrl-stm32.c
where you see
pctl->pctl_desc.link_consumers = true;
how does that
play with this? Double device links at different levels?

I had a patch to just enforce device links on all pinctrl resources,
but it seemed over the top:
