I don't understand enough of the technical background to comment on
the contents, on the surface it all makes sense.

I do think that you should keep Linus Walleij on Cc in these emails, since
he first started pushing for a common pinmux layer, and we need to make
sure that the binding works for all SoCs, not just for tegra.
