Thanks for your guidance. Will fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion. IIUC, I should specifically described the supported
pinmux and pincfg properties in this schema and then add an "additionalProperties: false"
in the end in order to constrain unsupported properties listed in the pattern
pin groups.

Maybe the FUNC[0|9] are not accurate to describe Source Signal Select [SSS].
I will drop these definitions from the example and try elaborating 'pinmux'
in its property description.
