AFAIK we switched to generic pinconfig since MX7ULP as maintainer 
won't
access old binding pinctrl drivers.

I'm not convinced that the generic pinconf is good fit. For pingroups
with different configs for some of the pins, like the example above, we
would need to split things into multiple DT nodes. This really hurts
readability, so I'm not going to switch to the generic stuff without
some really convincing arguments.

Per my understanding, based on the last discussion with Linus W, we 
actually
did this in order to increase the readability that 1) user does not need 
to
see the 'ugly' unreadable raw data and refer to reference manual 2) 
unified
generic binding format which already exist in kernel and used by many
platforms.

Actually MXS platform already used it for many years in a similar way.

So IMHO a little hurt to add another node for different pad setting in 
the
same group won't be enough reason to stop switching to generic config.

Does it make sense?
