There's a bit of a paradox here: If a name is translated into a pin, bank numbers above 7 and pin numbers above 31 will have wrapped around in translation and won't be caught here. I could check for wrapping in the translating function and check for valid numbers within the assigned bit range here, but I'd rather not see validity check spread over two functions.

At that spot I've put in Mike's (very similar) solution now:
static const int mxs_bank_pins[] = {
	MXS_BANK0_PINS,
	MXS_BANK1_PINS,
	MXS_BANK2_PINS,
#ifdef(CONFIG_MX28)
	MXS_BANK3_PINS,
	MXS_BANK4_PINS,
#endif
};

I'm considering to remove the macro PINCTRL_BANKS now, and use ARRAY_SIZE(mxs_bank_pins) instead, as it yields the same number and leads to a single point of definition.
