Aargh. Those pencils are wrong:-)

Yes, the existing order looks odd c.f. existing practice.

I notice that only one of the strangely ordered entries in
exynos_pinctrl_ids[] is fixed. Surely they should all be fixed?

It's probably worth adding the new names to exynos_pinctrl_ids[] rather
than replacing them. That allows the driver to be backwards-compatible
with older DTBs, and partially decouples the driver change from the
.dts/.dtsi file. Still, the whole backwards-compatible DTB thing seems a
little irrelevant when the .dts files are in the kernel source tree anyway.
