It looks harmless but seems like a bug and make me uncertain.

The following naive patch fixes it:

What is the proper way to fix this?

Linus,

I had a quick look at the pinctrl driver.

mv88f6xxx_mpp_modes contains mpp modes 0-49 plus corresponding
functions for all Kirkwood SoCs, some SoCs only have a subset
of that.

Looking at

static struct mvebu_mpp_ctrl mv88f619x_mpp_controls[] = {
	MPP_FUNC_CTRL(0, 35, NULL, kirkwood_mpp_ctrl),
};

Kirkwood 619x only provides mpp0-35.

Now in pinctrl-mvebu.c, we loop over the controls and
collect the number of available groups. For kirkwood
there are no groups with more than one single mpp pin
like Dove has.

/* count controls and create names for mvebu generic
   register controls; also does sanity checks */
pctl->num_groups = 0;
pctl->desc.npins = 0;
for (n = 0; n < soc->ncontrols; n++) {
	struct mvebu_mpp_ctrl *ctrl = &soc->controls[n];

	...

	/*
	 * We allow to pass controls with NULL name that we treat
	 * as a range of one-pin groups with generic mvebu register
	 * controls.
	 */
	if (!ctrl->name) {
		pctl->num_groups += ctrl->npins;
		...
	} else {
		pctl->num_groups += 1;
	}
}

After the loop pctl->num_groups is 36, i.e. mpp0 to mpp35.

A little later, we do:

/* assign mpp modes to groups */
for (n = 0; n < soc->nmodes; n++) {
	struct mvebu_mpp_mode *mode = &soc->modes[n];
	struct mvebu_pinctrl_group *grp =
		mvebu_pinctrl_find_group_by_pid(pctl, mode->pid);
	unsigned num_settings;

	if (!grp) {
		dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "unknown pinctrl group %d\n",
			mode->pid);
		continue;
	}

	...
}

Which is looping over all modes (0-49) passed to the pinctrl-mvebu
core driver. As said earlier, we pass one control with range from
0-35 that gets translated to 36 groups (pctl->num_groups).
mvebu_find_group_by_pid() will try to find the corresponding group
for a given pin number by checking pctl->num_groups.

That obviously fails for modes 36-49 and will issue that annoying
warning.

IMHO, the correct fix will be to make the last loop above run from
0 to min(pctl->num_groups, soc->nmodes) instead of soc->nmodes.

We could also limit pctl->num_groups to soc->nmodes earlier and let
the loop run from 0 to pctl->num_groups.

I am very short on time, but if nobody else jumps in earlier, I can
stich a patch within a week or so.

Thanks for reporting the issue,

Sebastian
