Hello Shawn,

Shawn Guo [off-list ref] a ?crit :
then, pinctrl system will be able to report there are 2 pin groups for
function "duart" in debugfs.
Ah nice, this explains why the mxs pinctrl driver creates a separate
group for each pinctrl DT subnode, but only creates a new function when
the name changes.
However, how would the mxs pinctrl driver handle the following case:
pinctrl {
duart_pins_a: duart at 0 {
...
}
something_pins: something at 0 {
...
}
duart_pins_b: duart at 1 {
...
}
}
Reading the driver code, I have the feeling that the logic that creates
the functions will only work if the different groups for a given
function are given as consecutive subnodes in the DT. Is this correct?
Regards,
Thomas
