Well, seems like they should be part of a mux node. I'd suggest you
look at the video-multiplexer binding under review[1].

Though for other non video functions, that would be some sort of board
level pin mux control. There's a new mux binding too, maybe that would
work. In any case, it shouldn't be the VPIF driver controlling the
GPIOs directly.
