But it is tied to a HID.  The "num-gpios" and "gpios" properties belong 
to a specific HID.  Someone could create a new HID with different 
properties, and then what?  That's why I want all the ACPI stuff in the 
client driver.

At this point I don't really care any more about what the patches look 
like, but I really do think that putting the ACPI code in pinctrl-msm is 
a bad idea.

We're debating adding support for multiple TLMMs, and we may create a 
new HID for that, so that we can define all pins on all TLMMs in one 
device.  We would need to create a new HID and new DSDs to go with it.

Keep in mind that I am now in vacation, and so I won't be able to submit 
any more patches for a while.

Ok.

Is it possible to request an IRQ for a pin if the pin itself can't be 
requested?

Ok.
