agreed at 100%

no pin number in the bank because it could not be gpio

evenif on at91 and nearly on the controller I known it is the case

yes

but I was thinking to put it as a param but why not

my idea was this

pinctrl@fffff200 {
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	compatible = "atmel,at91rm9200-pinctrl";

	atmel,mux-mask = <
		/*    A	  B     */
		 0xffffffff 0xffc003ff  /* pioA */
		 0xffffffff 0x800f8f00  /* pioB */
		 0xffffffff 0x00000e00  /* pioC */
		 0xffffffff 0xff0c1381  /* pioD */
		 0xffffffff 0x81ffff81  /* pioE */
		>;

	pioA: gpio@fffff200 {
		compatible = "atmel,at91rm9200-gpio";
		reg = <0xfffff200 0x100>;
		interrupts = <2 4>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		gpio-controller;
		interrupt-controller;
	};

	pioB: gpio@fffff400 {
		compatible = "atmel,at91rm9200-gpio";
		reg = <0xfffff400 0x100>;
		interrupts = <3 4>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		gpio-controller;
		interrupt-controller;
	};

	pioC: gpio@fffff600 {
		compatible = "atmel,at91rm9200-gpio";
		reg = <0xfffff600 0x100>;
		interrupts = <4 4>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		gpio-controller;
		interrupt-controller;
	};

	pioD: gpio@fffff800 {
		compatible = "atmel,at91rm9200-gpio";
		reg = <0xfffff800 0x100>;
		interrupts = <5 4>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		gpio-controller;
		interrupt-controller;
	};

	pioE: gpio@fffffa00 {
		compatible = "atmel,at91rm9200-gpio";
		reg = <0xfffffa00 0x100>;
		interrupts = <5 4>;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
		gpio-controller;
		interrupt-controller;
	};

	dbgu {
		pins = < &pioB 12 0 0
			 &pioB 13 0 2 >;
	/* with macro */
		pins = < &pioB 12 MUX_A NO_PULL_UP
			 &pioB 13 MUX_A PULL_UP >;
	};

	/* and also the notion of linked group
	 * as on uart of network you have often the same subset of pin use.
	 *
	 * As example on uart rxd/txd is use for the group without rts/cts
	 * and the one with it
	 * on ethernet the RMII pin are use also on MII
	 */

	uart0_rxd_txd {
		pins = < &pioB 19 MUX_A PULL_UP		/* rxd */
			 &pioB 18 MUX_A NO_PULL_UP >;	/* txd */
	};

	uart0_rts_cts {
		groups = < &uart0_rxd_txd >;
		pins = < &pioB 17 MUX_B NO_PULL_UP	/* rts */
			 &pioB 15 MUX_B NO_PULL_UP >;	/* cts */
	};

	uart0_rts_cts_external_pull_up {
		groups = < &uart0_rts_cts >;
		gpios = <&pioC 1 0>;
	};
};

The idea is to avoid duplication the xlate for pins will be driver specific
with maybe a common implementation

the 3 or 4 first fix as done on gpio
