I was thinking that instead of having one pinctrl-ingenic instance covering 0x600 of register space, and 6 instances of gpio-ingenic having 0x100 each, I could just have 6 instances of pinctrl-ingenic, each one with an instance of gpio-ingenic declared as a sub-node, each handling just 0x100 of memory
space.

My head is spinning, but I think I get it. What is wrong with the solution I proposed with one pin control instance covering the whole 0x600 and with 6
subnodes of GPIO?

The GPIO nodes do not even have to have an address range associated with
them you know, that can be distributed out with regmap code accessing
the parent regmap.

OK, but then each GPIO chip 'X' still need to know its offset in the register
area, which is (pinctrl_base + X * 0x100).
What's the best way to pass that info to the driver? (I assume it's not with
a custom DT binding...).
