It's this way because some chips do not even have numbers on the
pins, just names, like "UARTTX" or so.

The numbering is often not numeral, more like a chessboard
at least for BGAs. So "C14" is a typical pin number.

If the datasheet had numbers we just include it in the string naming
that pin like "UARTTX_C14" or so.
