I went back and took a look at it again. The "offset < 0" comes from 
"reg < 0" in 9b884e79a6 (pinctrl: single: fix offset management, 
2021-04-11), where reg is of type phys_addr_t. But phys_addr_t is also 
an unsigned value so I suppose the check was wrong to begin with. And 
fdt32_to_cpu() just does byte order conversions so it shouldn't return a 
negative value because there is no scope for failure.

So again, the patch looks good to me, but some added context for anyone 
interested.
