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
    Sorry, I was probably thinking that I was replying to a DT patch, not the 
bindings patch, hence this comment (it only meant Renesas DTs). It doesn't 
really surprise me that more DTs overall have "pinctrl", sigh...
