Overall I see that you want to store functions and groups in the device tree
using the current helpers from Tony. That is OK if you want to take that
approach, though I prefer the pins/groups/function encoding in plaintext.

But when it comes to pin config:

This is just hammering the register values, you have effectively defined your
register layout as your device tree ABI.

Please don't do this, please use genric pin config and use the approach
other drivers take with explicit strings encoding the pin configuration.

Even pinctrl-single that maintain quite a bit of muxing data in the device
tree still use the generic pin config API, see:
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-single.c
pcs_pinconf_get(), pcs_pinconf_set()

Same for group config.
