Why not describe it in dts and make this file generic for imx?
One node for one pad,

Doing this will bloat the device tree dramatically.  Actually I had
a patch doing so before the pinctrl subsystem was born, but it
concerned Grant a lot for that reason and thus died.

it'll be easy to extend pad properties. You know
the pad may set pull up/down, open drain, drive strenth, daisy chain etc.
The features have to be supported, to make your model usefull.

As Aisheng mentioned, the pinconf support will be added later.
