Yes, but since the associated peripheral is disabled, the users are free to configure other functions/peripherals, right? I mean something like this in pseudo-DT: /soc/pio: pinctrl@01c20800/uart1_pins: allwinner,pins = "PG6, PG7"; /soc/pio: pinctrl@01c20800/foo0_pins: allwinner,pins = "PG6, PG7"; .. /soc/uart1: serial@serial@01c28400: pinctrl-0 = <&uart1_pins>; status = "disabled"; /soc/bar: pinctrl-0 = <&uart1_pins>; status = "disabled"; Assuming Linux/DT allows this, this would force nothing, only offer choice and ease of use.
