Should not the defines start with J7200_WIZ? SERDES0 seems like a too
generic prefix, at least to me.
Thanks, good point. I am not sure if WIZ should even be used.. It is
a TI internal prefix for various serdes solutions, but I agree that
SERDES0 is too generic a terminology. That said, we should cleanup
include/dt-bindings/mux/mux-j721e-wiz.h as well, prior to introducing
j7200 changes.
I'm planning to put all TI SERDES definitions in one header file "ti-serdes-mux.h"
and add SOC specific prefixes to the macros.

This will mean some churn in the existing DT files. (only 2 so far)

Are you guys OK if I do the change in one patch to avoid a broken build in between.
You guys can then decide whose tree it goes through.

The new SoC addition will be separate of course.
We should get these changes done before 5.9 is released.
OK.
Not breaking the build for each intermediate step is always a priority.
Also, renaming mux-j721e-wiz.h to ti-serdes-mux.h and renaming the macros
could be seen as orthogonal, and it is certainly possible to do that
as two patches without breaking the build in between. It would just need
changes on both sides of the interface in both patches. But I wouldn't
worry about separating this into two patches, just do a rename patch and
be done with it. Then follow up with additions for j7200.

However, now that we are renaming things anyway, do we really need "mux"
in the name of the file itself?
I personally find .../dt-dbindings/mux/ti-serdes.h descriptive enough.
yep, OK with me.
