It helps to provide some context about the pins which might not be evident
from their short names like 'dmic01' or 'rx_swr'. A nice side effect is that
the pins/groups would grouped automatically together in alphabetic ordering.

In terms of 'redundancy' it is similar to 'qup_' prefix for the I2C/SPI/UART
pins.

The longest would be like 'lpass_dmic01_sleep' or 'lpass_rx_swr_sleep', which
doesn't seem outrageous.

In any case it's not super important. If it bothers someone enough later
on they can always send a patch that changes it.
