Nice, listing it like this makes it easy to add the electrical
properties when inheriting these nodes, closer to the product dts
files.

Linus,
I can take the .dts patch via the linux-qcom tree to keep it with other DT changes if you want to provide an ack.

I'm confused by this. Isn't this information already defined in the
pinctrl-msm8x74.c driver?
static const char * const blsp_spi8_groups[] = {
"gpio45", "gpio46", "gpio47", "gpio48"
};

I am not sure that I understand the question. This is one of
possible ways to describe relationship between pins and functions.
As they are described is visible what is their real purpose.

Ok, let me rephrase.
The 8x74 pinctrl driver already contains this information. It already
defines a "blsp_spi8" group consisting of GPIOs 45, 46, 47, and 48.
This patch adds that same exact information into the device tree. Why
are we duplicating that information? Why add it to the device tree when
it's already in the driver (and already working).
Also, I don't see any code anywhere that uses these new device tree nodes.

Probably. It was my natural way of thinking. Pin have a functions.
It is easier if I measure signals to just look at the device
tree file. What are you suggesting?

This is easy to fix :-).

Back in July, Qualcomm submitted a patch that added this information
into the device tree:
http://marc.info/?t=137185166100003&r=1&w=2
However, this was rejected. Now it appears that this information is
again being added to the device tree, but it's being accepted. What's
different now?
Another problem is that these device tree changes makes it difficult to
support ACPI. It's easy to move information between the drivers and the
device tree, because they're kept together. It's not so easy with ACPI.
I'm trying to add ACPI support to the 8x74 pinctrl driver, but it's a
moving target.

After re-reading the documentation and having someone kindly explain
this to me, I understand it now. The device tree is only specifying
specific configurations that a driver wants, not the sum total of all
possible groupings.

The difference is that in the first proposal pins, groups and
functions where defined in DT, in the accepted proposal the devicetree
merely selects pins, functions and their configuration.

The DT bindings for 8x74 is all standard pinctrl, so I presume that
what you should be looking at is how pinctrl and acpi is interacting,
not the specific case of 8x74...
Maybe Linus have some input on this?

Yes and I point this out in this reply:

AFAIK ACPI has nothing like official pin control support, last time I
checked it was limited to some custom information that could be
tagged onto GPIO pins (REALLY a bad idea, we don't shoehorn
pin control into the concept of GPIO).
If you are adding this then tell me which ACPI standard document
you're using for it, so I can read and criticize it.
I was under the impression that the ambition of ACPI was to hide
away all "complex stuff" such as pin control in the firmware
and just e.g. call the devices into some D-state and the
pin business happens in the firmware.
Yours,
