pinctrl: implement devm_pinctrl_get()/put()
These functions allow the driver core to automatically clean up any
allocations made by drivers, thus leading to simplified drivers.

Usually the pin control core handled the get/put pair and call out to the
device drivers bookkeeping operations, like checking available functions and
the associated pins, whereas the enable/disable pass on to the pin controller
driver which takes care of activating and/or deactivating the mux setting by
quickly poking some registers.
