Sounds like a similar setup I have, I do not need any func-name
or grp-name though.. The group name is already unique with
pinconfig-usdhc4 in your example?

I used a function name based on the group name initially
(pinconfig-usdhc4 in your example), then renamed it to the
np->full_name of the device requesting the mux when the
mux was found ;)

Yes the width would have to be hardare specific for the array.

Hmm, sorry now I'm confused. Got a link for that mail as so
many have been posted?
