Hi Ales,

I think the patch is fine. Moreover, reading the comments from Marc, I consider
this one the first step toward reducing the contention in pinctrl_thread
codepath.

nit: in order to make it really immutable we can do something like:

        const struct mac_binding_data * const mb_data;

nit: can we make vector (and the fields below) really accessible just by pinctrl
thread?
