Before your patch things were split in two nodes, the muxing and the
configuration. AKA when you combined the soc.dtsi and the board.dts
you'd have:
qspi_cs0: qspi-cs0-state {
pinmux {
pins = "...";
... muxing properties ...
};
pinconf {
pins = "...";
... config properties ...
};
};
Your patch combines the "pinmux" and "pinconf" nodes into one. So when
you combine the soc.dtsi and the board.dts after your patch you now
have:
qspi_cs0: qspi-cs0-state {
default-pins {
pins = "...";
... muxing properties ...
... config properties ...
};
};
That's fine and is functionally correct. ...but IMO it sets a bad
example for people to follow (though, of course, it's really up to
Bjorn). The "default-pins" subnode serves no purpose. If you're
touching all this stuff anyway you might as well not end up with
something that's a bad example for people to follow.

OK. I looked at what you end up with for "qup_uart9" after your
patches and it's definitely not my favorite place to end up at. If
nothing else you are double-specifying "function" in both
"default-pins" and "tx-pins"/"rx-pins". If those disagree then what
happens?
In general also we end up specifying that extra level of
"default-pins" in many cases for no purpose. We also end up
replicating hierarchy in the board dts files (the dts files are
replicating the "default-pins" nodes from the parent).

It was? How/where? I tried applying your patch and I still see "qup6"
under the default-pins node in sdm845.dtsi.

I guess this gets into the corners of pinctrl that I haven't poked at
lots. I guess it should be OK unless the SoC.dtsi and the board.dts
disagree about the "function". In such a case I guess it would be a
problem. So I guess what you end up will be OK but I don't like that
"function" is specified for the same pin in two different sub-nodes.

I guess it's related in that the patchset is touching everything and
one would assume that something touched so recently would represent
the current best practices. Maybe that's a weak argument, but if I saw
a patch that was about trying to clean up all the pinctrl across all
the older SoCs that I would assume that the pinctrl would be clean
after that patch and would be a good example to follow as best
practice. Thus it's relevant to talk about whether this patch is
ending us up at best practice or not.

Moving the drive strength can certainly be discussed / done in a later patch.

It is relevant to discuss because it would be the correct way to solve
the same issue with "uart9" that you used to justify why you needed an
extra "uart9-default" subnode.
