Stated in Documentation/driver-api/pinctl.rst:
Since some controllers have special logic for handling entire groups of pins
they can exploit the special whole-group pin control function. The
pin_config_group_set() callback is allowed to return the error code -EAGAIN,
for groups it does not want to handle, or if it just wants to do some
group-level handling and then fall through to iterate over all pins, in
which
case each individual pin will be treated by separate pin_config_set()
calls as
well.

This is not supported, and there's no code for handling it.
Should we add the necessary code or just remove the wrong documentation.
The idea was removed in:
commit ad42fc6c84795d19972e7f7dee70fe74bec4c2d8
"pinctrl: rip out the direct pinconf API"
I think we should just remove the documentation.
Do you want me to look into it or do you want to send a patch?
Yours,
Linus Walleij
I'll send a patch shortly.
Thanks.
Ramon.
