I thought about passing char *buf because it seemed more generic 
to me. As the output of pin_dbg_show() depends on the platform 
driver, perhaps pin_dbg_set() may need driver-dependent data.
Is it possible that only the value to be set in the register 
(unsigned int) is required?

Ok, I'll remove the CONFIG_DEVMEM dependency

Yes, the description of `pins` in Documentation/driver-api/pin-control.rst 
needs to be updated. I'll add another patch to the series.

Thanks and regards,
