I've now created mvebu/pinctrl-dove for this series.  It's based on
v3.14-rc1, and depends on mvebu/pinctrl (which depends on
mvebu/pinctrl-3xx).

I've kept this series in a separate branch in case we encounter an
unforeseen problem with something in here.  Then this branch can be
dropped, and /pinctrl-3xx and /pinctrl will still make it in.

So, all patches except 3 and 4 are in mvebu/pinctrl-dove.  3 and 4 are
in mvebu/dt.

OK so what should I be pulling in first now?

Of course I woke up this morning not happy with this :-/  Here's what it
looks like currently:

   /v3.14-rc1
   |
--+---+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-3xx
   |               \
   |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl
   \                           \
    \---------------------------+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-dove

Not to scale.


I would prefer to do:

   /v3.14-rc1
   |
--+---+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-cleanup
   |               \
   |----------------+--+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-3xx
   \                \
    \----------------+---+---+--+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-dove

But this would mean moving some patches to branches other than what they
were sent with.  The advantage is that /pinctrl-3xx and /pinctrl-dove
don't depend on each other, and only depend on -cleanup.  Which is great
if there is something wrong in either branch.

Sebastian, I can cherry-pick the patches around, but you know the code
better than any of us, do you foresee any problems with this scenario?

If Thomas agrees, I can rework Armada 375/38x pinctrl stubs to fit on
mvebu/pinctrl. That should allow you to have mvebu/pinctrl-dove
independent of mvebu/pinctrl-3xx.

Not a big deal, I'd just pick 375/38x patches from mvebu/pinctrl and squash them into mvebu/pinctrl-3xx. The only "issue" is that DT
documentation update patches from mvebu/pinctrl-dove have to be split
too.

I'll prepare the three new branches for you and Thomas to look at
today.

Sebastian
