I'd prefer if we could use integers over strings if at all possible, but
that does have a dependency on dtc getting a syntax to define named
constants, or the kernel pre-processing the .dts files before passing
them to dtc.

But if we have to use strings, I will point out that the pin names I
chose for Tegra may not be suitable as DT node names; I don't /think/
the DT node names can contain spaces, but I chose to name the Tegra
pinctrl pins after both their pin name and GPIO name so that it's
easier to correlate the two:

        PINCTRL_PIN(TEGRA_PIN_SDIO3_CLK_PA6, "SDIO3_CLK PA6"),

Now, I could change that, but I'd prefer not to.
