I withdraw my earlier suggestion to keep all board-specific pin
configuration overrides under a single &pinctrl block.

After checking existing board DTS files, I found that the direct-reference
style is already in use. For example:

  arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-bananapi-m64.dts

adds the board-specific bias-pull-up setting directly through &i2c1_pins.
Likewise:

  arch/riscv/boot/dts/starfive/jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2.dtsi

extends &mmc0_pins directly.

Both forms produce the same node override, but since the reference-based
form is already used in the tree, we should follow it instead of introducing
a different structure here. I will change the board-level override to
&i2c6_1_cfg in the next version.
