Yes. The name is exported from SCMI firmware.

I will use below description in v3:
For each pin, there are up to 8 muxing options (called ALT modes). For example:
Select 1 of 5 iomux modes to be used for pad: DAP_TCLK_SWCLK.
000b - Select mux mode: ALT0 mux port: JTAG_MUX_TCK of instance: jtag_mux
010b - Select mux mode: ALT2 mux port: CAN4_RX of instance: imx95_wakeupmix_top
100b - Select mux mode: ALT4 mux port: FLEXIO1_FLEXIO30 of instance: imx95_wakeupmix_top
101b - Select mux mode: ALT5 mux port: GPIO3_IO30 of instance: imx95_wakeupmix_top
110b - Select mux mode: ALT6 mux port: LPUART5_CTS_B of instance: imx95_wakeupmix_top
The nxp,func-id property is selecting one ALT mode.

It is pin configuration which includes pull up/down, drive strength and etc.

Yes.

Why can't standard pinctrl properties be

Standard pinctrl properties will need more memory in our SCMI
firmware design. We have limited on-chip memory for SCMI firmware usage.

The scmi firmware will convert the daisy-id into register address, and
write the daisy-conf value into the register.

 Looks like an address and value pair. Either the

The firmware will check whether id and conf is valid, is there a need to define
allowed combinations? There will be lots of check to define allowed
combinations.

Define tuple will make the property not able to use linux generic pinconf
driver. The current parse_dt_cfg for custom_dt_params only support a
single u32 value and not easy to support tuple.


So could we just ignore the allowed combinations and use not tuple?

Thanks,
Peng.
