I'll fix it. And also the SoC-dependent structures of the driver.

Surely this driver is independent from the pinctrl.
I'll remove the descriptions about the pinctrl.

It might be confused description. The subnode is separated from the properties.

In addition, I'll add "clocks" and "resets" according to another mail.
