It's listed under "Supported generic properties" in
pinctrl-bindings.txt. The convention seems to be not to add a vendor
prefix even though such custom macro values are used. The property is
currently used by qcom,pmic-gpio, qcom,pmic-mpp, and renesas,pfc-pinctrl.
I could not find a bindings document describing it with a vendor prefix.
