Hmm, when he came up with this proposal and said it should work for
Tegra, I assume he plans to move those from Tegra pinctrl driver into
device tree. Stephen?

I still incline to say there should not be any predefined groups for
DT case, if we choose to find the group in use only when pinmux_get()
gets called. Even if you insist to have a global scanning on device
tree for all groups to create the pinmux mapping table, those predefined
groups can only be created by your scanning code, so you should know
how the name comes from device tree, and you should be able to recreate
the name when you are trying to matching the name in the table you
created before.

This binding proposal has covered both pin and group configuration,
as the second parameter of 'config' property could be either a pin
or group which depends the on whether the configurable entity at HW
level is a pin or group.

You are right. They are fundamentally same and just in different
format.

I do not see any problem here. If you look at the first column of
'mux' property of node pinmux-usdhc1, it is a group of pins for usdhc1.
Isn't it one virtual pin group for usdhc1?

Yes, we need per device state switch.
