I guess it is a wildcard for everything under the heading in
"Generic pin configuration node content"
in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt

I'm all for documenting it properly.

It's kind of useful, but I don't know the recent ambtions about being
formal with DT bindings. The GPIO bindings are just over the top
with BNF notation in its formalism. Dunno what is best here :/
