Which other drivers already contain this code? Are you planning on
converting them over to use these new functions? The code looks
familiar, so I assume it's just cut/paste from Tegra with some renames,
so I didn't read it through in detail.

Yes, these functions are taken from the pinctrl-tegra driver. Other drivers which have similar implementation are nomadik, tegra, abx500, tz1090, tz1090-pdc.
So All can use these utility function to avoid duplication and reduce code size.
Yes, I have plan to use this in Tegra atleast but once this patch get accepted.



drivers/pinctrl/pinconf-generic.c | 105 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
include/linux/pinctrl/pinconf-generic.h | 52 +++++++++++++++
I don't think those are the correct files for this code. Presumably
there's no reason at all why a pinctrl driver that doesn't require
CONFIG_GENERIC_PINCONF can't use these basic utility functions. Perhaps
add a new pinctrl-utils file?

I thought generic implementation of parsing of dt is pinctrl-generic file and as these newly added APIs are require for the parsing the DT node, I added here.
I can move this to pinctrl-util.c/h also.
