[RESEND PATCH v2 1/2] pinctrl: pinconf-generic: perform basic checks on pincfg properties

From: Conor Dooley

Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 08:45:09 EST


Some pinconf properties are mutually exclusive, either because they
convey the same information in different units or represent incompatible
configurations of the same pin. Attempt, in two ways, to prevent these
situations.

Firstly, for enable/disable properties, produce an error if both are
set. Since enable/disable properties share the same enum value, they can
be trivially checked via the newly added bitmap. Having both enable and
disable for the same config makes no sense at all, so produce an error
in this case.

For interactions between properties, doing them outside the loop makes
more sense as it can be evaluated once. In case there are some edge
cases that would be broken by producing an error, only warn for now.
