Now yet another Broadcom driver!
Can I get the help of the maintainers of the other
Broadcom drivers to say:
- If this looks sane
I've reviewed this driver internally before it was sent out to public.
Here's my reviewed-by:

Like I mentioned before, we have been working closely with our ASIC team
to have one pad per register based register layout in our next-gen SoC.
That way we are able to use the generic pinctrl-single driver. It's
definitely our best interest to re-use a generic driver when possible,
to minimize the ongoing maintenance cost. Note we only have control on
chips that we work on; there are other Broadcom SoCs that we do not have
a say, unfortunately.
- If this hardware looks suspiciously similar to one of the
other drivers and should rather me a subdriver of one of
the existing ones
The IOMUX block in NS2 seems different from that of Cygnus and NSP. It
only supports group based mux configuration and does not have any
mechanism to allow GPIO pin function override. It also supports per pad
based pinconf functions.
Yours,
