Do you have a pointer to the pinctrl review? I'd like to know if
somebody had a good reason to use the phandle over the parent-child
relationship. I'd rather not add DT properties if they are not
necessary.
Regarding consistency, since the pinctrl node is also a child of the
slcr, you could just as well make the syscon phandle optional there and
remove it from the DT without breaking backwards compatibility.

That would be useful, yes.
