Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] pinctrl: add generic pins and functions properties

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

pinctrl bindings can benefit from generic property names that define
which pins a "pin configuration node" affects, and which mux function
to select onto those pins. Document new properties for this purpose so
that other bindings may refer to them.

 Some of the generic properties take arguments. For those that do, the
