Re: [PATCH v2 6/9] pinctrl-tz1090: add TZ1090 pinctrl driver

From: Linus Walleij

Hi James, I want to route this patch by Laurent Pinchart, as he's also
adding device tree support for a SoC using generic pinconf.

Creating new bindings for every pin controller defining the same thing
and implementing the same OF parsers is not sane.

We need to:

- Define generic pinconf bindings
- Implement a common parser for these in drivers/pinctrl/pinconf-generic.c

I'll merge your patches to <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl-generic.h> as a
baseline.

So if you want to use these names they shall be made generic.

Else you have to prefix everything with "tz1090,<property>"

This is looking good. Can you split out the pin config mapping in
some way and put that into pinconf-generic.c?
