The pinctrl bindings allow you to do this. They're documented in:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/brcm,bcm2835-gpio.txt

pinctrl setup would typically be added to the board file (i.e.
arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2835-rpi-b.dts) rather than the SoC file. I think
on the RPi, the pins that can generate PWM aren't dedicated to PWM by
the RPi board design (they could be GPIOs and probably other functions
too) so we probably need to leave it up to individual users to add PWM
configuration to their DT, if/when they use the PWM feature.
