Hello Krzysztof,

mediatek,drive-strength-adv *shall not exist*, that was an unnecessary property
that leaked upstream from downstream kernels and there's no reason to use it.

Upstream, we have drive-strength-microamp and mediatek,rsel-resistance-in-si-unit.

Since mediatek,mt8365-pinctrl.yaml got picked with that property already, I have
nothing to complain about this specific commit... drive-strength does not conflict
with the mediatek,drive-strength-adv property, as the "adv" is for microamp
adjustments.

You can pick it, it's fine.

Anyway, Alexandre: can you please perform a cleanup to the MT8365 pinctrl binding?
The cleanup means you're setting mediatek,drive-strength-adv as deprecated and
adding the right properties (...and possibly changing the devicetrees to use it).

For more information, you can look at commit history for the (unfortunately, named
incorrectly) MT8195 pinctrl documentation: bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-mt8195.yaml
where we performed the same cleanup that I'm asking you to do, except we didn't
have to set any property as deprecated because there was *no devicetree upstream*
that was actually using that property (hence not an ABI breakage).

Cheers!
Angelo
