That depends.

One-iorange-equals-one-driver is a fallacy, especially given that MFD for
memory-mapped things exist for a reason.

What the pin control driver should do is control the pins. Whether the registers
are spread out in the entire IO-memory does not matter. We did have one system
which placed the IO-muxing together with each peripheral (!) and I did
still want
that to be handled by a single pinctrl driver picking out windows to all these
IO-ranges.

Things like the PRM which has (my guess) a gazillion registers related to its
deep-core SoC stuff should be handled by things like
drivers/mfd/syscon.c, which means it is dead simple for some other driver
using "just this one register" in that range to get a handle at it and poke it
using syscon_node_to_regmap() (just derference an ampersand ref)
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible() (use a compatible string)
all returning a regmap * that you can use to poke these registers.
