Yes, I also included some small refactoring changes. I didn't think they were
important enough to include them in a separate commit. Would you like me to separate
them in another commit?

We no longer parse the device tree to configure the regmaps, we instead
get them from the mfd driver. This is the main point of converting this
driver into an mfd cell.

Yes, the driver no longer adheres to the nxp,s32g2-siul2-pinctrl.yaml binding.
The intention is to deprecate that binding since it doesn't correctly describe
the hardware. I am not sure on how to do this. I thought that changing this
driver and removing the old compatible would be enough.
Would it be better to add another file which would contain the old probing
function(and match the old binding) so clients would be able to select the
old implementation?
