Ah, that does look like a reasonable binding.
I had meant to call out to reviewers the potentially unusual use of explicitly named sub-nodes, rather than using the usual reg-based matching.
The main reason I chose named sub-nodes for the busses was so the sub-nodes would match the pinctrl named states. However, I think we can make the pinctrl numbering match rather than the pinctrl naming instead. The only issue is the "idle" state; if we allow it to exist anywhere in the pinctrl-names list, it'll make the pinctrl numbering mismatch the sub-node numbering. I think we can solve this by forcing the idle state to be listed last in pinctrl-names (if it's listed at all). I'll update my patches based on that David's patch.
