I don't understand, as long as the pins/functions have been specified
properly to the pinctrl core, I would expect a conflicting configuration
to be rejected.

Anyway, I wouldn't expect the subnodes to be consuming the GSBI pin
configuration anyway (although that could probably be done), instead, I
would expect the GSBI node to consume it's own pin configuration.
