I believe so. `pahole drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-max7360.ko` says:
struct max7360_pinctrl {
        struct pinctrl_dev *       pctldev;              /*     0     4 */
        struct pinctrl_desc        pinctrl_desc;         /*     4    44 */

        /* XXX last struct has 3 bytes of padding */

        /* size: 48, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
        /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 3 */
        /* last cacheline: 48 bytes */
};

I'm adding this comment here, and a similar one in the PWM driver.

/*
 * This MFD sub-device does not have any associated device tree node:
 * properties are stored in the device node of the parent (MFD) device
 * and this same node is used in phandles of client devices.
 * Reuse this device tree node here, as otherwise the pinctrl subsystem
 * would be confused by this topology.
 */

OK for all other comments.

Thanks for your review.
