Those values are defined in
include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-tegra-xusb.h. I personally consider
the <dt-bindings/> header files to be part of the binding itself, rather
than being derived from the binding. As such, I'd suggest the following
changes:

* Make this patch 1 not patch 2
* Move pinctrl-tegra-xusb.h into this patch.
* Remove the list of values above, and replace it with the text "See
<dt-bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-tegra-xusb.h> for the set of valid values".

We'll need to make sure this patch is applied to a topic branch that can
be merged into the pinctrl tree and the Tegra tree for 3.17, assuming
that you'll be sending patches for 3.17 that use pinctrl-tegra-xusb.h.

Why are those two properties required? Yes, this node has sub-nodes, but
those sub-nodes don't have a reg property or unit address. The main
Tegra pinctrl nodes don't have #address/size-cells.

Isn't there one extra level of nodes here. In the DT patches later in
this series, pinctrl-0/pinctrl-names are directly inside the top-level
padctl node.
