I guess, for function name, it should be retrieved from the client
device node, and for the group name, it should be retrieved from the
node here.
For above example, the function name can be picked from sdhci device
node pinctr-names property I proposed, and the group name can just be
'pmx_sdhci_active', which is not a very nice name here and reminds me
the following point.
Considering the different pinctrl configurations for the same client
device usually share the same pinmux and only pinconf varies. It may
worth introducing another level phandle reference. Something like
the following:
pinmux_sdhci: pinmux-sdhci {
mux =
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTA TEGRA_PMX_MUX_1>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTD TEGRA_PMX_MUX_1>;
};
pinconf_sdhci_active: pinconf-sdhci-active {
config =
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTA TEGRA_PMX_CONF_DRIVE_STRENGTH 5>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTD TEGRA_PMX_CONF_DRIVE_STRENGTH 5>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTA TEGRA_PMX_CONF_SLEW_RATE 4>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTD TEGRA_PMX_CONF_SLEW_RATE 8>;
};
pinconf_sdhci_suspend: pinconf-sdhci-suspend {
config =
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTA TEGRA_PMX_CONF_TRISTATE 1>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTD TEGRA_PMX_CONF_TRISTATE 1>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTA TEGRA_PMX_CONF_DRIVE_STRENGTH 5>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTD TEGRA_PMX_CONF_DRIVE_STRENGTH 5>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTA TEGRA_PMX_CONF_SLEW_RATE 4>
<&tegra_pmx TEGRA_PMX_PG_DTD TEGRA_PMX_CONF_SLEW_RATE 8>;
};
pinctrl_sdhci_active: pinctrl-sdhci-active {
pinmux = <&pinmux_sdhci>;
pinconf = <&pinconf_sdhci_active>;
};
pinctrl_sdhci_suspend: pinctrl-sdhci-suspend {
pinmux = <&pinmux_sdhci>;
pinconf = <&pinconf_sdhci_suspend>;
};
sdhci at c8000200 {
...
pinctrl = <&pinctrl_sdhci_active> <&pinctrl_sdhci_suspend>;
pinctrl-names = "active", "suspend";
};
This will be pretty useful for imx6 usdhc case, which will have 3
pinctrl configuration for each usdhc device (imx6 has 4 usdhc devices),
pinctrl-50mhz, pinctrl-100mhz and pinctrl-200mhz. All these 3 states
have the exactly same pinmux settings, and only varies on pinconf.

Let's put this in the example below.
pinmux_usdhc1: pinmux-usdhc1 {
mux = <IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT1 0>
<IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT2 0>
...
};
pinconf_usdhc1_50mhz: pinconf-usdhc1-50mhz {
config = <IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT1 IMX6Q_PAD_CONF_ALL 0x834>
<IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT2 IMX6Q_PAD_CONF_ALL 0x834>
...
};
pinconf_usdhc1_100mhz: pinconf-usdhc1-100mhz {
config = <IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT1 IMX6Q_PAD_CONF_ALL 0x330>
<IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT2 IMX6Q_PAD_CONF_ALL 0x330>
...
};
pinconf_usdhc1_200mhz: pinconf-usdhc1-200mhz {
config = <IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT1 IMX6Q_PAD_CONF_ALL 0x334>
<IMX6Q_PAD_SD1_DAT2 IMX6Q_PAD_CONF_ALL 0x334>
...
};
pinctrl_usdhc1_50mhz: pinctrl-usdhc1-50mhz {
pinmux = <&pinmux_usdhc1>;
pinconf = <&pinconf_usdhc1_50mhz>;
};
pinctrl_usdhc1_100mhz: pinctrl-usdhc1-100mhz {
pinmux = <&pinmux_usdhc1>;
pinconf = <&pinconf_usdhc1_100mhz>;
};
pinctrl_usdhc1_200mhz: pinctrl-usdhc1-200mhz {
pinmux = <&pinmux_usdhc1>;
pinconf = <&pinconf_usdhc1_200mhz>;
};
usdhc at 02190000 { /* uSDHC1 */
...
pinctrl = <&usdhc1_50mhz>, <&usdhc1_100mhz>, <&usdhc1_200mhz>;
pinctrl-names = "usdhc1-50mhz", "usdhc1-100mhz", "usdhc1-200mhz";
};
In this example, we have 3 functions/states for client device usdhc1,
"usdhc1-50mhz", "usdhc1-100mhz", and "usdhc1-200mhz". The group is
being defined by enumerating the pins in property 'mux' of node
pinmux_usdhc1.

Yes, I think it does. But we should try to work out some way letting
dts and linux driver include the same header file to avoid maintaining
two copies of the same data.
