So, dm_scan_fdt_node() should be moved to rk3288_pinctrl_bind(), I think.

Having GPIO nodes under the pinctrl node is a rockchip-specific matter.

Only for those SoCs that use pinctrl-simple and clk-simple.

Given that the peripheral ID  is driver-wide concept that is shared
between pinctrl-simple and clk-simple,
the ID decoder should be placed in common location, so that
pinctrl-simple should not depends on clk-simple, and vice versa.
