But the information related to how the PDC is wired to GPIO pins is a
property related to the PDC not of the TLMM, so it does make sense to
represent this information there.

And iiuc it also makes sense to not encode it in DT because it's
physical wiring, not configuration.

What "something" are you referring to here?
