Here is what my series looks like: drivers/pinctrl/freescale/Kconfig | 3 +- drivers/pinctrl/freescale/pinctrl-imx.c | 273 +++++++++----------------------- drivers/pinctrl/freescale/pinctrl-imx.h | 33 +--- 3 files changed, 80 insertions(+), 229 deletions(-) Mainly I've used the generic functions in pinctrl_ops and pinmux_ops and switched to the generic group/function_desc structures instead of the imx-specific one that didn't bring anything else. However I couldn't use the 'add' functions to add elements since the parsing is done at probe time in its own way. So I've keep the radix_insert functions. This could be modified though, it just requires to modify the driver even more which I didn't feel like doing right now. > OK great.

Right now it doesn't look obvious. Also, I have some comments about your patches (already applied) which I will send as a reply to the original patches.
