It wasn't immediately clear from this that pinctrl-8 is the current max you found vs. a should be enough for a while. Pinctrl is also a bit special in that we have 100s of child nodes and only 1 to a few actual dependencies (the pinctrl node). I assume in the end here, it's just the pin controller node that's the dependency rather than creating lot's of dependencies? Rob
