For some Allwinner SoCs we have one pinctrl driver caring for multiple very similar chips, and are tagging certain pins with a variant bitmask. The Allwinner D1 introduced a slightly extended register layout, and we were abusing this variant mask to convey this bit of information into the common code part. Now there will be more pinctrl device properties to consider (has PortF voltage switch, for instance), so shoehorning this into the variant bitmask will not fly anymore. Refactor the "variant" field into a more generic "flags" field. It turns out that we don't need the variant bits to be unique across all SoCs, but only among those SoCs that share one driver (table), of which there are at most three variants at the moment. So the actual variant field can be limited to say 8 bits, and the other bits in the flag register can be re-purposed to hold other information, like this extended register layout. As a side effect we can move the variant definition into the per-SoC pinctrl driver file, which makes it more obvious that this is just a private definition, only relevant for this particular table. This also changes the artificial sun20i-d1 "variant" into the actual flag bit that we are after.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
