Thanks for your patch!

Probably this is also the right moment to change all of these to arrays
of unsigned ints?  Else you will have mixed int/unsigned int after
"[PATCH v3 13/22] pinctrl: core: Embed struct pingroup into struct
group_desc", and purely unsigned int after "[PATCH v3 22/22] pinctrl:
core: Remove unused members from struct group_desc".

The Renesas pinctrl drivers already pass arrays of unsigned ints.
Some other drivers still use arrays of ints, though.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
