Seems like there's another thing I wanted to avoid. The correctness of 
these pin strings will not be checked until the runtime. They need to 
properly encode pin bank and pin number within the bank. No chances it can 
be validated at .dtb build time. But I guess this is proper way for 
generic pinctrl bindings. I mostly (but not completely) based my approach 
on rockchip examples (e.g. rk3288) but it looks like they are not entirely 
sane.

Thanks,
Paul
