I am not sure that I understand the question. This is one of
possible ways to describe relationship between pins and functions.
As they are described is visible what is their real purpose.

Ok, let me rephrase.

The 8x74 pinctrl driver already contains this information. It already defines a "blsp_spi8" group consisting of GPIOs 45, 46, 47, and 48.

This patch adds that same exact information into the device tree. Why are we duplicating that information? Why add it to the device tree when it's already in the driver (and already working).

Also, I don't see any code anywhere that uses these new device tree nodes.
