The U300 pin controller is obviously of type (1) as it can spy on
the signals.

The Nomadik pin controller is basically type (2).

Maybe this is part of the explanation to why we sometimes tend
to talk past each other :-D

(I would replace the string "pinctrl" with "pinmux" above,
as I just did in my documentation patch adding these
diagrams.)
