Are IMEM and ALIVE pincontrollers really separate then? Typically one
models the hardware as different blocks when the registers are
separate and that's also why devm_ioremap_resource() behaves like it
does. Maybe in this case there should be only one pin controller
defined instead?

In any case, I agree that the patch should be reverted for now.
