    If I understand the HW correctly, there's a separate "pad control" HW
    block that provides routing/sharing of signals from USB2(?), USB3, SATA,
    and PCIe to the pads.

    I believe Thierry is working on exposing this block as a pinctrl driver,
    or at least something that the other drivers can call into in order to
    configure that block. It'd be good if you can co-ordinate with him to
    rebase this driver on top of that, rather than (I assume; haven't read
    the code yet...) directly manipulating the padctrl registers inside each
    of the different drivers. Co-ordinating that could turn out to be
    problematic, and presumably if each driver does its own thing, we end up
    duplicating defines, code, and DT bindings for configuring the padctrl HW.
