Thanks Linus.
The patch mostly transplants the way of parsing the DT of Tegra driver
into our driver, so that a logical pin group could consist from multiple
smaller groups in DT. I posted it first time as a stand alone patch long
time ago and I believe it was positively acknowledged, with some minor
comments only, which I unfortunately didn't have time to address until now.
The next step could be trying to make some code shared, although I'm not
sure how much that could be, due to the need to handle subtle
differences between both bindings in a backwards compatible way. I will
think about it.
Best regards,
Tomasz
