Would you be able to describe what you think AM33XX_PADCONF would look
like if the mux and conf are seperated?
Is there an example you know of for another SoC?

Currently, the macro takes dir and mux:
include/dt-bindings/pinctrl/omap.h:
#define AM33XX_PADCONF(pa, dir, mux) OMAP_IOPAD_OFFSET((pa), 0x0800) ((dir) | (mux))
For example, in arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-bone-common.dtsi:
AM33XX_PADCONF(AM335X_PIN_I2C0_SDA, PIN_INPUT_PULLUP, MUX_MODE0)
I think it might be more accurate to rename 'dir' to 'conf'.
Table "9.3.1.50 conf_<module>_<pin> Register" in the AM335x TRM [0]
defines bits 0-2 as "Pad functional signal mux select." Bits 3-6 are
what I would consider pin configuration. Only bit 5 is related to
direction: "Input enable value for the PAD".
