This should be 'pmc@7000e400'. We were incorrectly adding the '0,'
previously.

I think you have have "Must be ..." here. I am also wondering if the
pinctrl device should be registered by the pmc driver and so not a
separate driver to the PMC driver. In other words, the PMC driver calls
pinctrl_register() directly.

You may consider just using integer values here like we do for regulators.

Why are they not listed here? Array of strings sounds odd. Array/list of
pin names seems more appropriate.

Sounds like a boolean parameter. So may consider that if the property
'nvidia,io-pad-deep-power-down' is present then it means enable
deep-power-down and if not present then don't. Then you do not need to
assign a value to it.

May be this should be moved under the nvidia,io-rail-voltage description?

May be this should be moved under the nvidia,io-pad-deep-power-down
description?

I know this is an example, but it does not make sense to me why audio-hv
and gpio and separated from 'rest' when they have the same configuration.
