Sounds like a similar setup I have, I do not need any func-name or grp-name though..

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 ;) > >>         mux = > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 > >>                 ; > >> }; > > > > For listing basic pins this format works fine for me.

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