+Since the pin controller subsystem has its pinspace local to the pin
 controller we need a mapping so that the pin control subsystem can figure out
 which pin controller handles control of a certain GPIO pin. Since a single
 pin controller may be muxing several GPIO ranges (typically SoCs that have
