Clang warns when one enumerated type is implicitly converted to another:

enumeration type 'enum pin_config_param' [-Wenum-conversion]
.param = MAX77620_ACTIVE_FPS_SOURCE,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is expected that pinctrl drivers can extend pin_config_param because
of the gap between PIN_CONFIG_END and PIN_CONFIG_MAX so this conversion
isn't an issue. Most drivers that take advantage of this define the
PIN_CONFIG variables as constants, rather than enumerated values. Do the
same thing here so that Clang no longer warns.

Patch tentatively applied.

This seems to be the direction we need to be going with a lot
of CLANG business.

Laxman: you weren't CCed, so tell us if you dislike it for some
reason.

Looked changes and it is great. MISRA-C also happy with macros instead of enum.
