What's with PIN_CONFIG_END using such an insane value?

I'm happy to consolidate on the provided definitions and add my own on top
of that, but I'm not going to waste an insane amount of bits that I could
be using for driver-specific data and so on instead to comply with the
PIN_CONFIG_END comment. Is there any valid reason why this would ever
need to exceed 4 bits?
