I would tend to prefer sorting out the issue fully, then documenting it once. This avoids churn. I would consider the complete set of standard pinctrl states as an interface. If we add states, that actually changes the interface even though it might not affect the definition of any individual states. Since this also impacts DT which is supposed to be a stable ABI (or at least evolve in a backwards-compatible fashion), it seems better to get it right once. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
