I'm fine with this, please just add the following file:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/intel.txt

And kind of just list the compatible string in it, with
Cc: devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That is the procedure they have asked me to follow.

Then they need some week to have a chance to look at it.
