As I do not see the device tree probing added in pinmux-imx-core.c, I
expect the patch has not got the chance to run on imx6, right?

Yes, I would add it if the pinctrl framework supports DT.

There are many levels of DT.

You can of course add DT-support for anything driver-specific, such as
init data for some registers, or anything else you would normally pass in
through platform data. So please just do that if imx6 already has support
for such things.

What we're discussing about right now on devicetree-discuss is where to
put the mapping tables etc that is currently registered by the board,
that has no obvious solution as there is some disagreement on how to do
that.

Yes, thanks for your info.
I'm new to device tree and may take some time to get more familiar with it.

I discussed with Shawn today and now we're going to move data to dt and run
this driver on mx6q first.
