It allows to easily differentiate distinct pin groups for the same IP.

A second group of pin that can be muxed to uart0 would be defined as
uart0_pins_b: uart0@1.

I could have used any other construct, like uart0-0 and uart0-1, I just
find that it fits more in the usual DT constructs.

But only for actual serial driver right? This is a pinctrl group
declaration.

Thanks,
Maxime
