Read comments carefully.

Nothing improved.

Driver is not relevant here. Say which part of syscon are necessary for
pinctrl operation.

[.] is redundant... What exactly do you want to match?

OK, then go with nuvoton approach. List the properties (:true) and use
additionalProperties: false.

Instead treat it as mA. Is this possible?

There is actually power-source, but treated as actual choice of power
supplies.

Maybe Rob or Linus have here some recommendation, but I would suggest to
go either with rtd1319d-pinctrl.yaml approach or add a generic property
to pincfg-node expressed in real units like "io-microvolt".

Rob, Linus, any ideas for generic property replacing register-specific
power-source?
