I still prefer to have pin configuration defined in pinctrl dtsi file 
and I'll continue like this for ST board. The reason is that we try to 
reuse as much as possible pins when we create a new board and so it is 
easier to maintain if we declare them only one time.

But, I'm not blocked for "other" boards based on STM32 SoC. I mean, if 
it is simpler for you and above all if it avoid issues/complexities 
then, you can declare some pin groups in your board dts file. In this 
case we need to take care of the IO groups label name.
