That's is how the generic pinctrl framework in Linux has parsed these
nodes for the last several years, so I expect all pinctrl bindings to
show this.

And in particular, rather than forcing people to use the third form
above the free naming of the subnodes allows to describe an entire 4 pin
UART in a single pin state (the last requires 3-4 nodes + duplicates for
sleep state), and for single gpio things the first one doesn't force
people to make up phony names - which typically lands them in the last
case (using pinmux/pinconf).

So I presume then that it would make sense to convert
{pinmux,pinconf}-node.yaml this form and then in our binding we should
somehow just refer to these.

But what's the appropriate method of extending and limiting pin-node? We
have additional constraints and not all the properties are valid for the
Qualcomm TLMM.
