In other Qualcomm platforms the alternative muxes are denoted by letters
(a,b,c...). Would you mind picking up this naming scheme, or do you see
any problems with that? (E.g. wci2a in this case)


Btw, do you need any additional configuration for selecting alternative
muxing or is that automagical these days?

Then you can describe them all as "qpic_pad" (or simply "qpic"?). (It's
possible to reference a partial group in the DTS, if that's necessary)

So Y is alternative mux? Can we use letters for this as well?

Ok, then I'm happy with the naming of this :)
