I see, I missed that nuance. So Linux will steal any pins that are
mentioned in DT. But that would mean that you're relying on someone else
to ensure that this bit is cleared for the other pins and you would not
be able to explicitly flip the state back to island mode in runtime.

I would prefer that this was more explicit.

But does it mux the pin to the island, or does it state that the island
is now in charge of the associated TLMM registers?

If it's muxing the pin to the island, then it's conceptually just a
special mux state that we can represent in DT as another pinmux
function.

Right, so if egpio = 1 for a pin, then it works like any other pin
that's handled by the pinctrl-msm driver, with whatever muxing options
are available for the given pin.

But what happens when egpio = 0? Is the TLMM decoupled from the physical
pin, or does the island use the TLMM as well?

If it's not using the TLMM, do we need the TLMM to be in some particular
state?


What I'm proposing is that if the egpio is simply a first-line mux and
the TLMM isn't used when the pin is muxed towards the island. Then we
could add a custom 'function = "egpio"' muxing state and you could per
pin mux things explicitly, and possibly dynamically, to be routed to the
island.
