According to Devicetree Specification v0.2 and later, Section "Generic
Names Recommendation", the node name for a pin controller device node
should be "pinctrl".
   Ugh, what a lame name! :-(
   And they say DT should be OS agnostic...

   I think more DTs have "pin-controler".
I was surprised to discover the opposite, too:

$ git grep "\<pinctrl@" v5.9-rc1 | wc -l
335
$ git grep "\<pin-controller@" v5.9-rc1 | wc -l
102

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
