Now consider some more complex interface with more than one mpp pin per
interface pin. Do you really want to predefine all possible combinations
even if it is more likely that in fact only one is used on all boards
because they are all based on the same reference design?

Where did I say that you should define *all* possible configurations?

I said: "The SoC .dtsi file should define all the pinmux groups that are
described in the datasheet and are used by boards". Read again the "and
are used by boards".

Ok, then I overread "and used by other boards". Sorry for that.

So I'm clearly not advocating adding *all* possible configurations,
because there would be gazillions of them. But I'm in favor of moving
the *used* configurations to the .dtsi files.

Agreed.
