Okay, thanks for pointing out the problem, I'll correct it.

Yes, this is a good idea, but when many files must include the same batch
of header files (seems to have become a kind of template), it seems like
a good choice for us to put them all in pinctrl-meson.h (actually been doing
this a long time ago).

Attached is my last reply to Andy:

If you still think it needs to be changed, I will add them in the next version patch.

Thank you, looking forward to your reply.
