Next generation of PMIC's have support for pin acting like analog-input/output and current sink. So I will like to keep "function" property for selecting one of the above functions. Choosing between "normal", "paired"... options in QPNP pinctrl driver is supported trough passing values, defined in DT header file, to "output-high" property.
