IRDA is just a needlessly different synonym for UARTB; there shouldn't be any mention of IRDA in the pinmux code anywhere, or any users of the pinmux code.
Oh suck, I didn't realize we had synonyms in the pinmux tables, that seems like a really bad idea. Unfortunately it looks like this particular synonym is widespread. I see it used in the pinmux spreadsheets, the downstream Android kernel source, and gfshell code.
It will disappear from the downstream kernels once they've picked up the upstream pinctrl driver; I spent a fair bit of time correlating all the various documentation sources and eliminating duplicate names for the upstream kernel pinctrl driver.
The bug I was trying to fix here is that IRDA is referenced in the u-boot cardhu pinmux table.
Oh, I didn't notice that the second time round; I'm pretty sure I pointed it out in the very first review. Maybe that was just of the U-Boot pinmux driver and not the Cardhu file.
I guess the fix is to change that to UARTB, but it sounds like maybe a larger synonym cleanup is needed everywhere, do you know of any others?
I can't recall for sure; I think there were some. I'd suggest comparing upstream U-Boot's pinmux driver with the upstream kernel's pinctrl driver, treating the kernel as canonical now.
I'm thinking there needs to be some better run time error checking in the u-boot pinmux code too. There are some debug asserts in there now, but because I didn't have debug turned on this particular bug lead to silent corruption of the pinmux registers which was a PITA to track down. Thoughts on turning those asserts into always on error checking code? Not sure how much it will slow down pinmux programming.
I doubt the speed would be significantly affected, unless an error triggers and the printf/... actually happens, but you don't really care about speed then.
