Shouldn't that be exactly the opposite? You have two pins that can
output different functions. The property should be the pin and the value
the function. I'd go even further and I would say this is actually
pinmuxing.

You're right, if the property is the pin and the value the function,
this looks like a pinctrl node.
We choose to develop theses functionalities in the reverse order, to
avoid the complexity of adding
the pinctrl framework to our driver. Moreover, LSCO and AlarmA may
haven't a peripheral client and
this would probably require to also implement pinctrl hogging.

Is the implementation that we have proposed is acceptable regarding
theses elements ?

Thank you,
Valentin

I still think that the pin has to be the property and the function the value.

Or we could find a generic name and provide an array of pin, function
pair

Or, go for pinmuxing

My point here is that this is a common feature an RTCs and I don't want
every vendor to come up with their own properties.
