I only took the imx_pinctrl_parse_pin_mmio as example to get parse the node
and do the pinctrl_scmi_imx_dt_node_to_map here. Only the pieces:
"be32_to_cpu(*list++); "

For other parts, they are different. There is no MUX here, configs
has vendor SCMI "IMX_SCMI_PIN_X", and more.

I thought about this. Just trying what did for i.MX8 SCU pinctrl API by adding
IMX_USE_SCMI flag.

But because that means more if else check in pinctrl-imx.c and 
scmi requires different configs layout, which makes pinctrl-imx.c looks
messy. And scmi pinctrl requires a totally different probe function,
not imx_pinctrl_probe. So I decided to write a new driver for i.MX95.

I could switch back to my initial try to share pinctrl-imx.c, but I hope not.

Aisheng,  Fabio, Shawn, Jacky, any comments?

Thanks,
