The node name of the sdhci pin group doesn't explain it's
real function. So rename it.

The real function of this node is not to configure SDHCI pins, but to
set pins to alt3, as the current name states. Admittedly it's possible
that currently the only pins that need to be set to ALT3 are SDHCI
related, but that's incidental.

Yes, i understand the original intension to assign every pin to the available
mux functions ( gpio_in, gpio_out, alt* ).

But 3f37169fb3 ("ARM: bcm2835: dt: Add Raspberry Pi Model B rev2") introduce a
better self-describing pin group naming for I2S. So my idea was to adapt it
according to sdhci first and go on.

So here is a possible vision for bcm2835-rpi.dtsi

&gpio {
	pinctrl-names = "default";

	act_gpio: gpio {
		brcm,pins = <6>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_GPIO_OUT>;
	};

	i2c0_alt0: i2c {
		brcm,pins = <0 1>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT0>;
	};

	i2c1_alt0: i2c {
		brcm,pins = <2 3>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT0>;
	};
	
	gpclk_alt0: gpclk {
		brcm,pins = <4 5>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT0>;
	};
	
	spi0_alt0: spi {
		brcm,pins = <7 8 9 10 11>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT0>;
	};
	
	uart0_alt0: spi {
		brcm,pins = <14 15>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT0>;
	};
	
	pwm0_alt0: pwm {
		brcm,pins = <40>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT0>;
	};
	
	pwm1_alt0: pwm {
		brcm,pins = <45>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT0>;
	};

	sdhci_alt3: sdhci_alt3 {
		brcm,pins = <48 49 50 51 52 53>;
		brcm,function = <BCM2835_FSEL_ALT3>;
	};
};

FYI I don't have that yet and git fetch is being very slow right now:-(

OK. I'd suggest explaining that directly in the commit description then.
The commit description above has a quite different semantic meaning.

...

OK, I guess that can work; I imagine it would make DT overlays easier by
making the pinctrl setup more fine-grained.
