Yes, these functions are taken from the pinctrl-tegra driver. Other 
drivers which have similar implementation are nomadik, tegra, abx500, 
tz1090, tz1090-pdc.
So All can use these utility function to avoid duplication and reduce 
code size.
Yes, I have plan to use this in Tegra atleast but once this patch get 
accepted.

I thought generic implementation of parsing of dt is pinctrl-generic 
file and as these newly added APIs are require for the parsing the DT 
node, I added here.
I can move this to pinctrl-util.c/h also.
