Note, please, remove extra '.' (dot) in the Subject.o

fwiw, the .. was intentional cos I was truncating the pinconf_generic
from the function since the subject was really long, not referring to
a member of an ops struct.

Yes, and that's how we refer to the callbacks — with a single dot and parentheses:

	.my_cool_cb()

Alternatively

	->my_cool_cb()

but it one character longer and TBH it slightly less readable (I personally
used the latter and then switched to the former in the recent years).

Hmm... My memory tricked me, it seems I switched to ->cb() notation, at least
there are patches with that from October last year. Whatever, choose one and
use it :-)

I think you missed my point, I was /not/ trying to refer to an ops struct
member. For those I follow the first of the two notations you listed.

Indeed, for that cases I usually use and underscore (however it might
in some cases be ambiguous):

  pinctrl: pinconf-generic: move _dt_node_to_map_pinmux() to amlogic-am4 driver

I think it's possible to drop the 'pinctrl:' prefix, the pinconf-generic is
unique enough and had been used in the past a couple of times (yes, I know that
the convention is to use subsystem prefix).

Also word 'driver' can be dropped.

TL;DR: My point that double dots is confusing and non-standard way to refer to
something which is cut. If not full, ideally it can use triple dots followed by
underscore

  pinconf-generic: move ..._dt_node_to_map_pinmux() to amlogic-am4 driver
