Hello Shawn,

Ah nice, this explains why the mxs pinctrl driver creates a separate
group for each pinctrl DT subnode, but only creates a new function when
the name changes.

However, how would the mxs pinctrl driver handle the following case:

	pinctrl {
		duart_pins_a: duart at 0 {
			...
		}
		something_pins: something at 0 {
			...
		}
		duart_pins_b: duart at 1 {
			...
		}
	}

Reading the driver code, I have the feeling that the logic that creates
the functions will only work if the different groups for a given
function are given as consecutive subnodes in the DT. Is this correct?

Regards,

Thomas
