So far all the Allwinner pinctrl drivers provided a table in the
kernel to describe all the pins and the link between the pinctrl functions
names (strings) and their respective mux values (register values).

Extend the binding to put those mappings in the DT, so that any SoC can
describe its pinctrl and GPIO data fully there instead of relying on
tables.
This uses a generic compatible name, to be prepended with an SoC
specific name in the node.

I definately want feedback from Maxime before I do anything with
this patch series.

So I've been opposed to it as well, for the reasons Rob, Thierry and
you pointed out already in that thread

I just wasn't sure what your opinion on it was, so I didn't answer
just so that I could see if I was the only one pushing back.

So I guess we all agree here.

Maxime
