Will do.

I see that most other documents have a variation of those paragraphs, so
I better follow that then.

I've missed that these where in pinconf-generic. I based
msm_dt_subnode_to_map
on the tegra implementation and made changes to support pinconf-generic,
which
now seems identical with pinconf_generic_dt_subnode_to_map.
I'll use that directly instead.

Sounds much better than duplicating that information here.

This list is enough for the currently supported (and published on
linux-arm-msm)
drivers for the 8x74 based DragonBoard. I wanted to get some feedback
before adding
more of the functions in the msm8x74 tables.

I liked the concept of grouping related states/muxes together and then I
saw Linus'
ux500 series that did the same thing. But as it's just a matter of taste I
should
probably remove it from the example and just make sure it's clear above
that such
structure is okay.

Thanks for your comments!
