s/pinctrl-pins/pins/ I think.

s/pinctrl-function/function/ I think.

I'd be tempted to replace everything I quoted above with something a
little simpler to avoid any redundancy with pinctrl-bindings.txt:

==========
This binding uses the following generic properties as defined in
pinctrl-bindings.txt:

Required: pins
Options: function, bias-disable, bias-pull-up, bias-pull-down,
bias-pin-default, drive-open-drain.
==========

"pins:" is redundant here.

I think you would want to structure this list the same as the pins list,
so prefix it with "Valid values for function names are:", and delete
"function:" at the start of the list.

s/repectively/respectively/

Hmm. I'm not sure I like mixing those functions with the more "semantic"
function names above. I'd prefer the driver support either the semantic
names or the raw names, but not both. It's not really a big deal though
I suppose.

I didn't review the code, just the binding.
