I'll remove "if type object" stuff next patch since
pinctrl node has no properties with "-pins" suffix.

The pins' types and control of SP7021 are a bit complex.
Let me explain:
SP7021 has 99 digital GPIO pins which are numbered from
GPIO 0 to 98. All are multiplexed with some special function
pins. There are 3 types special function pins:
(1) function-pins:
For example, if control-field SPI_FLASH_SEL is set to 1,
GPIO 83, 84, 86 and 87 will be pins of SPI-NOR flash.
If it is set to 2, GPIO 76, 78, 79 and 81 will be pins of
SPI-NOR flash.
For example 2, if control-bit UA0_SEL is set to 1,
GPIO 88 and 89 will be TX and RX pins of UART_0
(UART channel 0).
For example 3, if control-bit EMMC_SEL is set to 1,
GPIO 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 will be
pins of an eMMC device.
The driver defines properties "function" and "groups"
to select this kind of pins-function.
(2) fully pin-mux pins:
GPIO 8 to 71 are 'fully pin-mux' pins.
Pins of peripherals of SP7021 (ex: UART_1, UART_2,
UART_3, UART_4, I2C_0, I2C_1, ..., SPI_0, SPI_1, ...
GPIO_INT0, GPIO_INT1, .., RMII_of_Ethernet, and etc.)
can be set to any pins of fully pin-mux pins.
EX1 (UART channel 1):
If control-field UA1_TX_SEL is set to 3, TX pin of
UART_1 will be routed to GPIO 10 (3 - 1 + 8 = 10)
If control-field UA1_RX_SEL is set to 4, RX pin of
UART_1 will be routed to GPIO 11 (4 - 1 + 8 = 11)
If control-field UA1_RTS_SEL is set to 5, RTS pin of
UART_1 will be routed to GPIO 12 (5 - 1 + 8 = 12)
If control-field UA1_CTS_SEL is set to 6, CTS pin of
UART_1 will be routed to GPIO 13 (6 - 1 + 8 = 13)
EX2 (I2C channel 0):
If control-field I2C0_CLK_SEL is set to 20, CLK pin
of I2C_0 will be routed to GPIO 27 (20 - 1 + 8 = 27)
If control-field I2C0_DATA_SEL is set to 21, DATA pin
of I2C_0 will be routed to GPIO 28 (21 - 1 + 9 = 28)
Totally, SP7021 has 120 peripheral pins. The
peripheral pins can be routed to any of 64 'fully
pin-mux' pins. So total combinations are:
120 x 64 = 7680
This is why we cannot enumerate all combinations.
(3) I/O processor pins
SP7021 has a built-in I/O processor.
Any GPIO pins (GPIO 0 to 98) can be set to pins of
I/O processor.
Property 'pins' is defined as uint32 array. Each item
defines a pin as below:
Bit 32~24 defines GPIO number. Its range is 0 ~ 98.
Bit 23~16 defines types: digital GPIO pins (3), IO processor pins (2)
or fully pin-mux pins (1)
Bit 15~8 defines pins of peripherals which are defined in
'include/dt-binging/pinctrl/sppctl.h'.
Bit 7~0 defines types or initial-state of digital GPIO pins.
Best regards,
Wells
