I have done the below modifications in my dt and confirm that, pinctrl framework
doesn't allow 2 devices to claim pins  with a given function name and group name
at same time.

dt-changes:
&gpt {
+               gpt6-pins {
+                       pinmux = <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 0, 5)>, /* GTIOC6A */
+                                <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 1, 5)>; /* GTIOC6B */
+               };
+
+               gpt7-pins {
+                       pinmux = <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 2, 5)>, /* GTIOC7A */
+                                <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 3, 5)>; /* GTIOC7B */
+               };
};

&mtu {

+               gpt6-pins {
+                       pinmux = <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 0, 4)>, /* MTIOC3A */
+                                <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 1, 4)>, /* MTIOC3B */
+                                <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 2, 4)>, /* MTIOC3C */
+                                <RZG2L_PORT_PINMUX(44, 3, 4)>; /* MTIOC3D */
                };
};

Initially MTU device is claiming the pins P44_0 and P44_1.

root@smarc-rzg2l:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl-handles
	device: 10001200.timer current state: default
  state: default
    type: MUX_GROUP controller pinctrl-rzg2l group: mtu3_zphase_clk (3) function: mtu3_zphase_clk (3)
    type: MUX_GROUP controller pinctrl-rzg2l group: mtu3_clk (4) function: mtu3_clk (4)
    type: MUX_GROUP controller pinctrl-rzg2l group: gpt6-pins (5) function: gpt6-pins (5)

When It tried to load gpt, I get the below erro,
[   15.024714] pinctrl-rzg2l 11030000.pinctrl: pin P44_0 already requested by 10001200.timer; cannot claim for 10048000.pwm

[   15.070224] pwm-rzg2l-gpt 10048000.pwm: Error applying setting, reverse things back

After unloading mtu modules and loading gpt modules, gpt module is claims the pin.

    type: MUX_GROUP controller pinctrl-rzg2l group: gpt7-pins (11) function: gpt7-pins (11)

root@smarc-rzg2l:/sys/bus/platform/drivers/rz-mtu3# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl-handles
device: 10048000.pwm current state: default
  state: default
    type: MUX_GROUP controller pinctrl-rzg2l group: gpt6-pins (5) function: gpt6-pins (5)
    type: MUX_GROUP controller pinctrl-rzg2l group: gpt7-pins (11) function: gpt7-pins (11)


Since I have used same function name/ group name it gets a unique selector(5) and the functionality for
gpt is not working as the selector meant for MTU.

But if I replace "gpt6-pins" -> "mtu-pins" in MTU node, then the functionality works as expected as
the selector is different for mtu-pins and gpt-pins eventhough both uses same pins.

So I believe current implementation is based on /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl-handles is
good unless I miss something here. Please correct me,if you think my observation is wrong.

Cheers,
Biju
