That feels unsafe - then you have some string claiming to represent the
device for that pinmux, but the system has not matched that string
against dev_name() for any real device, so it could be a lie, any string
like "foo" would do.
What I do now for U300 is complete resolution by matching dev_name
in the mapping to dev_name(device) on the struct device * actually
instantiated, which means you're 100% sure it is really mapped
to that very device.
I like this since it's much more stringent...
Yours,
