Can someone please provide the details why this is needed for
pinctrl-msm.  Is there any msm-chipset using multiple tlmm devices?  I
m only concerned because, after this change, the use of gpio number
from user space has become a little difficult. Can we merge the patch
from Timur to maintain the past behavior when multiple tlmm devices
are not present, which is most likely the case?

     static int base = 0;

     chip->base = base;
     base = -1;

Regards,
Arun
