[... and so on for the other groups ... ]

I'm confused now :-) . Current linux-next [0] shows the pin-settings as part 
of imx6sl.dtsi - a way a lot of other architectures organize their pingroups 
too, with the board file only referencing the relevant pingroups from the 
predefined ones of the soc.

So I guess your move to the pingrp-header moved them out of the imx6sl.dtsi to 
the .h and is not part of linux-next; but this patch (and the others in this 
series) now moves the definitions into the individual board files. Can't you 
just move them back to the soc-dtsi files to prevent each board duplicating 
them?

Or I've simply missed previous discussions about this ;-) .


Thanks
Heiko
