The reference to pin P43_0 is added in the PMIC node.

I have done modification on my board to test PMIC INT# on RZ/G2L SMARC EVK
by wiring R83 on SoM module and PMOD0 PIN7.

> The last versions you posted did not have any pinctrl properties?

By default, PMIC_INT# is not populated RZ/G2L SMARC EVK, so I haven't added
Support for PMIC_INT# for the patches posted till date. 

Yesterday I checked with HW people, is there a way to enable PMIC_INT#
and they told me to do the above HW modification.

Today I found this issue, with this modified HW and PMIC INT# enabled on the DT,
while assigning of_node of PMIC with info.of_node. It is just a coincidence.

Cheers,
Biju
