pinctrl: delete raw device pointers in pinmux maps

After discussion with Mark Brown in an unrelated thread about
ADC lookups, it came to my knowledge that the ability to pass
a struct device * in the regulator consumers is just a
historical artifact, and not really recommended. Since there
are no in-kernel users of these pointers, we just kill them
right now, before someone starts to use them.

 As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus
