Linus W, might be worth updating the change log with the regression
causing commit. Something like commit 4e7e8017a80e1 (pinctrl: pinctrl-single:
enhance to configure multiple pins of different modules) improved
support for pinctrl-single,bits option, but also caused a regression
in parsing badly configured mask data.
