The description is:

 * @strict: do not allow simultaneous use of the same pin for GPIO and another
 *      function. Check both gpio_owner and mux_owner strictly before approving
 *      the pin request.

so if I understand correctly that means that if a device has configured the pin
MX28_PAD_SSP2_SCK as function SSP2_SCK it's impossible to do gpio_request on
<&gpio2 16> (which is the matching GPIO)? I don't like that. My use case for
exactly this is that I want the MX28_PAD_SSP2_SCK pin to be high-Z when the spi
bus is not in use. I do this as follows:

	&ssp2 {
		pinctrl-names = "default", "idle";
		pinctrl-0 = <&spi2_pins_a>;
		pinctrl-1 = <&spi2_pins_a_gpio>;
		...
	};

where spi2_pins_a_gpio includes MX28_PAD_SSP2_SCK__GPIO_2_16, and then

	&gpio2 {
		ssp2_sck {
			gpio-hog;
			gpio = <16 0>;
			input;
		};
		...
	};

. So I think strict is a bad idea, not only for pinctrl-mxs.

Best regards
Uwe
