Thank you for your support.
I think the easiest and best way to test the code is that Oleskii will try
my patch on his platform, r-car, on which I believe that SCMI FW for pin
controller is already available since he tested his pinctrl driver.

@Oleskii, can you please take a time for the test?
(I will assist you in case of any error.)

I will try to keep eyes on Bartosz's patch.
