This could get really verbose in a really big hurry. ?Fortunately the
dtb format is sophisticated enough to only store each unique property
name once, so the data shouldn't be huge, but it is still going to
make for huge source files. ?Can you think of a more concise
representation?

Yes: no representation at all. The correct place for IOMUX setup being
done is *inside the boot firmware as soon as physically possible* and
not seconds into boot after U-Boot has made a console, done a boot
timeout, loaded scripts, kernels and ramdisks from media and then
uncompressed and entered a Linux kernel.

We've had this argument before.  There are many use cases where the
firmware simply cannot be relied upon to do the right thing.
