[PATCH 13/14] arm: at91: dt: at91sam9 add nand pinctrl support

Maybe it will be more readable if we use something like :
atmel,pull-up;
atmel,multidrive;
atmel,mux="GPIO"
atmel,mux="A"
...
just my 2 cents...

no too much data and too much node as you will need a node per pin which we
tyr to avoid

One one hand we've got a DTS quite concise but unreadable, and on the
other hand, something understandable but huge.
( and it's not specific to your patch Jean-Christophe, on imx6q.dtsi,
it looks worse )
I'm just trying to make sure that having a DTS like that :
nand {
	pinctrl_nand: nand-0 {
		atmel,pins =
			<2 13 0x0 0x1   /* PC13 gpio RDY pin pull_up */
			2 14 0x0 0x1>; /* PC14 gpio enable pin pull_up */
	};
};
is better than :
nand {
	pinctrl_nand: nand-0 {
		nand_rdy { atmel,bank = "C"; atmel,pin = <13>; atmel,mux = "GPIO";
atmel,pull-up; };
		nand_ena { atmel,bank = "C"; atmel,pin = <14>; atmel,mux = "GPIO";
atmel,pull-up; };
	};
};
It's what you did in 1st place on linux-at91 git, and I kinda liked it.
But yeah, it's more verbose, and some lines will go beyond 80 columns,
but that's already the case.

Best regards,

Richard.
