Hi Phil,

Thanks for your patch!

I think this should be a separate patch.

BTW, I have a question about rzn1_pinctrl_mdio_select():

static void rzn1_pinctrl_mdio_select(struct rzn1_pinctrl *ipctl, int mdio,
                                     u32 func)
{
        if (ipctl->mdio_func[mdio] >= 0 && ipctl->mdio_func[mdio] != func)
                dev_warn(ipctl->dev, "conflicting setting for mdio%d!\n", mdio);
        ipctl->mdio_func[mdio] = func;

        dev_dbg(ipctl->dev, "setting mdio%d to %u\n", mdio, func);

        writel(func, &ipctl->lev2->l2_mdio[mdio]);
}

The check warns the user if it overrides an already initialized MDIO function
with a different value.
However, there is no method to uninitialize (reset to -1) mdio_func[], to
avoid getting the warning.

For a use case, I was thinking about a DT overlay that would cause the
MDIO function to be initialized on loading, and needs to uninitialize the
MDIO function on removing.

Perhaps that is very unlikely or even impossible, given the function of the
pins controlled by the MDIO function?

Thanks!
