First, you can always rename a file if such need arises. Maybe new SoCs
will come, maybe not.

Second, when you actually upstream new SoC it might anyway require new
bindings file, because pinctrls are quite specific and it is usually
difficult to support multiple devices in a nice, readable way in one
file. Therefore anyway another file is quite likely.

I don't care what the driver is doing, we do not discuss the driver. You
need to describe properly the hardware and I doubt that hardware accepts
all drive-strengths, all forms of pull resistors (so any Ohm value).

Add constrains.

This is another surprise - functions are texts, not numbers.

Don't store register values in the bindings examples. Instead you need
to be explain the slew-rate property.
