I have to push back on this a bit.

I understand that it is building on top of the old i.MX bindings and that
it has some kind of "tradition" coming with it.

At the same time, the i.MX bindings came about before we had the
generic pin control bindings defined.

A whole slew of these if not all correspond to the generic bindings.

I would consider augmenting the code in the driver to handle the generic
bindings *in addition* to the old legacy bindings, and use those over these
random custom bits.

Read drivers using CONFIG_GENERIC_PINCONF as an inspiration.

For example see commit
cefbf1a1b29531a970bc2908a50a75d6474fcc38
"pinctrl: sunxi: Support generic binding"
from Maxime Ripard, where he does a similar thing for sunxi.

Yours,
