That's unorthodox. Still quite pretty!
I would nee Lee Jones to say something about this, as it is
essentially hijacking MFD into the pinctrl subsystem.

I guess the alternative would be to reimplement the MFD structure.

Did you check the approach to use "simple-mfd" and just let the subnodes
spawn as devices that way? I guess you did and this adds something
necessary.
