Thanks for the link.

I have a question though. Regarding that section:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/* SD-Card */
&usdhc2 {
pinctrl-names = "default", "state_100mhz", "state_200mhz";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_usdhc2_default>, <&pinctrl_usdhc2_cd>;
pinctrl-1 = <&pinctrl_usdhc2_100mhz>, <&pinctrl_usdhc2_cd>;
pinctrl-2 = <&pinctrl_usdhc2_200mhz>, <&pinctrl_usdhc2_cd>;
bus-width = <4>;
cd-gpios = <&gpio3 00 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
no-sdio;
no-mmc;
vmmc-supply = <&reg_usdhc2_vmmc>;
status = "okay";
};
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The documentation states:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Order of Properties in Device Node
----------------------------------

The following order of properties in device nodes is preferred:

1. "compatible"
2. "reg"
3. "ranges"
4. Standard/common properties (defined by common bindings, e.g. without
vendor-prefixes)
5. Vendor-specific properties
6. "status" (if applicable)
7. Child nodes, where each node is preceded with a blank line
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

All of the properties in my example are falling into the "4" category I
guess, except for "status" that should come last. Now, how am I supposed
to order those properties? I had a look to other IMX device trees and it
is hard to establish a pattern. Pinctrl first, then alphabetical order?
Anything else?

Thanks for the guidance,

Mathieu
