Yes, although this was not expressed in bindings.
I believe that the "pinconf" subnode also needs to replicate the list of pins, or at least that's what we did everywhere else on sdm845 / sc7180.
Yes.
Thus to match conventions, I assume you'd do:
&qup_spi2_default { pinconf {
No, because I want a convention of all pinctrl bindings and drivers, not convention of old pinctrl ones. The new ones are already moved or being moved to "-state" and "-pins". In the same time I am also unifying the requirement of "function" property - enforcing it in each node, thus "pinconf" will not be valid anymore.
Regardless of where we want to end up, it feels like as of ${SUBJECT} patch this should match existing conventions in this file. If a later patch wants to change the conventions in this file then it can, but having just this one patch leaving things in an inconsistent state isn't great IMO...
If this really has to be one-off then the subnode shouldn't be called "pinmux". A subnode called "pinmux" implies that it just has muxing information in it. After your patch this is called "pinmux" but has _configuration_ in it.
It is a poor argument to keep some convention which is both undocumented, not kept in this file and known only to some folks (although that's effect of lack of documentation). Even the bindings do not say it should be "pinconf" but they mention "config" in example. The existing sdm845.dts uses config - so why now there should be "pinconf"? By this "convention" we have both "pinmux" and "mux", perfect. Several other pins do not have pinmux/mux/config at all.
This convention was never implemented, so there is nothing to keep/match.
Changing it to "config" (because this is the most used "convention" in the file and bindings) would also mean to add useless "pins" which will be in next patch removed.
