I don't see any way around it short of adding the gpio to pinctrl mappings for each SoC, and not do remuxing if the mapping is missing. Then we need to make sure that the pinctrl register mappings are the same for each SoC revision and package. If there are revision or package specific changes, we'd have to handle those too somehow by specifying the package with a compatible value in the board specific .dts file or something like that. > > If we do this, we also need a solution to prevent automatic remuxing > > of GPIO pins from happending.

No, it needs to happen from the GPIO driver based on runtime PM calls.

And we should bail out if no gpio to pinctrl mapping exists.
