Are people looking at the mainline source code?
There is already a pinctrl driver for sunxi platforms (i.e Allwinner
SoCs), it's at drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-sunxi.c, and it's DT-based and
allows to describe the pin muxing in the Device Tree.
Cc'ing Maxime Ripard, who is the mach-sunxi maintainer in the mainline
kernel.
Best regards,
Thomas
