[PATCH 1/5] dt-bindings: pinctrl: support specifying pins, groups & functions

["Rafał Miłecki" <zajec5@gmail.com>]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

This binding change is meant to introduce a generic way of describing
pinctrl blocks details. Every pinmux block is expected to have:
1. Named pins
2. Named groups containing one or more pins
3. Named functions referencing one or more groups

It doesn't describe how hw should be programmed. That is still binding
specific.

This commit describes syntax for "pins", "groups" & "functions" nodes in
a standard pinctrl binding. Every above node allows specifying its
entries and it's done using subnodes because:
1. It's required with reg = <n> ("pins")
2. It's generic & extendable (hw specific properties can be added)

Pins are number based so they use reg = <n>. It's also required as
binding needs to allow gaps. It's to avoid hacks like:
pins = <"foo" "-ENODEV" "-ENODEV" "-ENODEV" "bar">;
(for hw with pins 0 and 4 present).

Subnodes also allow storing hw specific pin/group/function
configuration. While it would be possible to have:
groups {
    foo-pins = <0 1>;
    bar-pins = <2 3>;
};
that doesn't allow hw specific quirks.

Introduced design allows e.g.:
groups {
    foo {
        pins = <0 1>;
        vendor,magic = <0xbeaf>;
    };
};
