This looks good to me!

I tried to apply them to the pinctrl devel branch but this happens:

$ git am --signoff
./v3_20221104_thierry_reding_pinctrl_tegra_separate_tegra194_instances.mbx
Applying: dt-bindings: pinctrl: tegra: Convert to json-schema
error: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/nvidia,tegra124-dfll.yaml:
does not exist in index
Patch failed at 0001 dt-bindings: pinctrl: tegra: Convert to json-schema

I guess there are some prerequisites?

Yours,
