I like the fact that this solves your gpio configuration issue, but I'm
uncertain if just adding support for configuring pins (in addition to
groups) in the driver is the right solution.

@Linus, to summarize, the Qualcomm TLMM configures pingroups, but all
gpios are defined as a single pin. pinctrl_gpio_set_config() is invoked
based on the configuration provided in the ACPI tables, so Shawn's
proposal is to just implement "config by pin" as well.
Would this not be a problem shared with all pinctrl drivers that
configure gpios in groups?

Generally the pinconf/pinmux part of the driver deals with groups, and
the gpio_chip deals with gpio numbers. So I think that either
gpiochip_generic_config() should somehow do the translation, or we
should use a different function that does it (even though there's no
translation).
