Hi Shawn,

Sorry for the delay, some of this we already talked this week
at the conference.

OK, maybe let's see how far we can get by adding other #pinmux-cells
values to parse in addition to 2. And map some registers using
compatible + .data entry related to it.

Thanks that looks wrong..

Thanks, fixing.

Makes sense.

Yes those are already gone in the second version I posted.
