Indeed the SCMI Types table and the Linux Pinctrl subsystem types are
similar but not really the same; some kind of conversion/mapping will be
needed.

Some trivial conversion layer will be needed also in order to address
here any of the possible future changes in the Linux pinctrl subsystem
definitions without having to change the SCMI server side
(that typically is fw...and that anyway is bound to the SCMI spec)
