It's more like the pin control core is passing the array of settings
to the driver and the behaviour is specified per-driver.

So that is from the kernels point of view, no matter whether
device tree is used or not. A specific driver may instill specific
behaviour - sequential or not.

Right, so that means doing this:

                        pinctrl_usdhc1_1: usdhc1grp-1 {
                                fsl,pins = <
...
                                        MX6QDL_PAD_SD1_DAT3__SD1_DATA3 0x17059
...
                                >;
                        };

                        pinctrl_usdhc1_1_dat3cd: usdhc1grp-3 {
                                fsl,pins = <
                                        MX6QDL_PAD_SD1_DAT3__SD1_DATA3 0x13059
                                >;
                        };

and then:

	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_usdhc1_1 &pinctrl_usdhc1_1_dat3cd>;

can result in either "MX6QDL_PAD_SD1_DAT3__SD1_DATA3 0x17059" or
"MX6QDL_PAD_SD1_DAT3__SD1_DATA3 0x13059" being the final configuration
for that pin.

What that means is that for any pinctrl setting, pins to be configured
must be mentioned exactly once and once only.
