If it is an array, that means all pins use same config in this node. Maybe you could split the bindings into mediatek,pins = <1 2 3 4>; mediatek,func = <1>; (or some macro) Or better yet, since you've already defined all the function names in the pinctrl driver, you could just match by name for the functions. That makes it very verbose and explicit about what you specify. That's how we do it for sunxi anyway. Of course we have all the pin function documentation open, so users and reviewers alike can double check. Just a suggestion. :) Cheers ChenYu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
