Looks good overall.

I think at least you should try to do an ioremap of the pinmux register
area in the pinmux probe function and make sure that it's called early
enough, if at all possible.

Right now, there is an empty probe() function, which is a bit silly,
and the pg_readl()/pg_writel() functions use hardcoded register
addresses.
