Hi Soren,

Thank you for the patch.

The Renesas PFC implements similar bindings with using the vendor-specific 
properties "renesas,pins" and "renesas,groups" (bindings and implementation 
available at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/renesas,pfc-pinctrl.txt 
and drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pinctrl.c respectively).

The Renesas implementation is a bit more generic in that it allows both pins 
and groups to be specified in a single subnode. Do you think that feature 
would make sense for pinconf-generic as well ?
