Looks like constraints on the values. Please add schema for them. I
don't think you need to list an example.
Perhaps you should be using 'pinmux' property. That is the standard way
to specify a numeric mux mode.

Then maybe you shouldn't be using SCMI and just write a pinctrl driver.
Or, Linux has to parse the DT anyways, so use standard properties and
transform them into your register values and send that to SCMI.

The firmware can't check that the DT contains nxp,daisy-id but not
nxp,daisy-conf or vice-versa. Of course the kernel could check that, but
validating the DT is not the kernel's job.

Sounds like a Linux problem. We're talking about bindings. Fix Linux if
it doesn't meet your needs.
How many bits of id and conf do you need? This too could just be part of
'pinmux' property. It's value is entirely h/w specific and up to you.
You just need to fit it into 32-bits (though we could perhaps enlarge
it).
