Please note that I removed from this patchset the patch that you've 
merged to your for-next branch already:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=8ba3f4d00078e7a49c60c0bd6298f29402c3a0a0

Is that what you wanted to see in pinctrl-bindings.txt, or is there 
something else you want to see added to that txt file?  I didn't want to 
add the description of slew-rate arguments there because this is 
capri-specific.  I'm not quite sure what else to add.

That doc already says bias-pull-up is specified in Ohm, and the specific 
values are chip-specific, so I don't think they should be mentioned there.

Right, I think the slew-rates values are capri specific.

Thanks for the review.
