Except those properties have been there for many kernel revisions and
are an ABI and hence can't be removed, although I noticed that they got
renamed recently, and of course we aren't technically being strict about
this quite yet...

Re: the complete pinctrl driver: is anything outside the Palmas going to
need to reprogram the Palmas pinctrl HW at run-time? Are the functions
that can be routed to the pins just static configuration for PMIC
features, or might other generic (non-Palmas) drivers use those pins for
something? If not, perhaps it's be simpler to just add your ti,mux-pad3
property and be done.
