This is ok.

Hm, I played with this, using numbers for functions. Unfortunately it is
not easy possible to hack existing DT pin-control parsing code to use
numbers instead strings, so I ended coping Samsung parsing code, but unless
this is separated in library we will end with huge code duplication for
little benefit.

Furthermore meaning of number 2 and 3, which represent PMIC GPIO Special
Function 1 and 2 are not consistent across PMIC chips. For example KEYPD
function in PM8038 is encoded with 3, but in PM8058 it is 2.

I tend to agree with Bjorn that "function" property should be "normal", 
"paired", "func1", "func2","dtest1", "dtest2", "dtest3", "dtest4" and we
can add new property "qcom,mode" which will select between digital/analog
input/output.

In DT include file we can still have something like this:

/* To be used with "function = <>" */
#define QCOM_GPIO_FUNC_NORMAL		"normal"
#define QCOM_GPIO_FUNC_PAIRED		"paired"
#define QCOM_GPIO_FUNC_FUNC1		"func1"
#define QCOM_GPIO_FUNC_FUNC2		"func2"
