Yes, well our hardware doesn't support any of these features other than
setting the function so in the picoxcell backend I'd just WARN_ON() invalid
flags settings.

Hmm, not sure on that one, it's been a while since I've looked at Linus'
patches.

You have a much more complex chip than I do! I don't know if *all* SoC's have
to have the same muxing binding, but it feels that this one should cover a lot
of the most common bases.
