Hey cool!

This is obviously copied from the Linux kernel <include/linux/pinctrl/*>,
it is helpful to provide a comment in the file stating the source, so
that others that come along can compare, it happens that we add stuff
to the Linux include file(s) so unless you say where it is coming from,
it can be hard to keep it in sync.
