Hi Grant,

Thanks for the review.

Here's a real-life example

&pfc {
        pinctrl-0 = <&scifa4_pins>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";

        mmcif_pins: mmcif {
                mux {
                        renesas,groups = "mmc0_data8_0", "mmc0_ctrl_0";
                        renesas,function = "mmc0";
                };
                cfg {
                        renesas,groups = "mmc0_data8_0";
                        renesas,pins = "PORT279";
                        bias-pull-up = <1>;
                };
        };

        scifa4_pins: scifa4 {
                renesas,groups = "scifa4_data", "scifa4_ctrl";
                renesas,function = "scifa4";
        };
};

The mux node selects function mmc0 on two pin groups, and the cfg node 
activates pull-ups on one pin group and one particular pin.

Thanks. As other generic pinconf DT bindings proposals have been submitted I 
will resent this patch set with pinconf support stripped out to make sure it 
gets to v3.11 and will then add pinconf back in follow-up patches for v3.11 or 
v3.12, depending on when we can agree on generic pinconf bindings.
