Hi Sebastian,

This thread was about the of_node assignment for the child device
musb-hdrc. Mainline commit:
	4fc4b274f9b3 (usb: musb: dsps: do not bind to "musb-hdrc")

Really old thread but I just noticed that this solution does not work
for automatically parsed properties like 'default' pinctrl. I added
'default' pinctrl settings for the musb device node. They are
automatically setup by the driver core infrastracture as expected.

The problem is that the 'default' pincontrol settings will be applied
again for the musb-hdrc because they are extracted from the of_ndoe
data. This fails because they are already claimed by the 'musb-dsps'
driver. musb-hdrc continues probing, but there is a big error message
that it failed:

[    1.181912] pinctrl-single 44e10800.pinmux: pin 44e10a20.0 already requested by 47401c00.usb; cannot clai
m for musb-hdrc.1.auto
[    1.194053] pinctrl-single 44e10800.pinmux: pin-136 (musb-hdrc.1.auto) status -22
[    1.201930] pinctrl-single 44e10800.pinmux: could not request pin 136 (44e10a20.0) from group pinmux_usb1
_pins  on device pinctrl-single
[    1.214790] musb-hdrc musb-hdrc.1.auto: Error applying setting, reverse things back

Any ideas how to solve it for mainline?

Best regards,

Markus
