For imx, tested on a Nitrogen6x platform:

Before the patch:
# dmesg | grep iomux
[    0.096672] imx6q-pinctrl 20e0000.iomuxc: unable to find group for
node hoggrp
[    0.097215] imx6q-pinctrl 20e0000.iomuxc: initialized IMX pinctrl driver

After the patch:
# dmesg | grep iomux
[    0.097505] imx6q-pinctrl 20e0000.iomuxc: initialized IMX pinctrl driver

Also, checking the pinctrl of the hog pins in sysfs proved to be correct.
