I used pins as this is the property from pincon generic so that I can

Here, I will not go to the pin level control as HW does not support pin
level control.

I will say the unit should be interface level. Should we say
IO_GROUP_CSIA, IO_GROUP_CSIB etc?
So we need to reflect the hardware in device-tree and although yes the
power-down for the CSI_x_xxx pads are all controlled together as a
single group, it does not feel right that we add a pseudo pin called
csix to represent these.

The CSI_x_xxx pads are already in device-tree and so why not add a
property to each of these pads which has the IO rail information for
power-down and voltage-select?
Which dt binding docs have these?
I looked for nvidia,tegra210-pinmux.txt and not able to find csi_xxx.
For CSI you are right they are not included by the current DT binding
docs, however, the sdmmc1/3 pads are. So that makes things a bit more
messy as some are and some are not.

Yaah and so lets have the names in new dt files. Names may be same but define all possible names f groups in dt binding and need not to refer from other file which does not have all.

Here I dont want to refer the individual pins as control should be as
group.
I understand, however, at least for power-down control I don't see why
we cannot refer to the individual pins and once all are inactive then
the rail can be powered down.

For switching the voltage it is a bit more complex, but may be we could
still look-up the IO rail based upon the pads the device uses.


Yes, it can be done with ref count also for power down.
But interfaces are complex. As a client, it is easy to say power down SDMMC1 IO interface rather than saying power down 10 pins (names) of that group. We need to provide all these from DT for dynamic and static configuration and listing all pins of groups are complicate then the pad names.
