Ah, of course they mention it in their -pinctrl.dtsi...

So with those numbers from their .dtsi I can offer to use the array as
Clément showed above, and adjust the indicies in the pin arrays above.
Then have the IRQ numbers as shown in the BSP in our .dtsi.
But I would not have SUNXI_FUNCTION_IRQ_BANK statements for those
unknown ports, in fact no mentions of PortD and PortE at all.

Does that sound acceptable?
