Looks OK to me, that's a bit slower way of parsing pins compared to
just register value pairs but allows naming them. And it was agreed
that it's up to the driver to define it's binding.

Looks like it's using static arrays which I was too using earlier.
That too should be OK for now, then at some point we can probably
have something generic to manage the pins for at least some drivers.
