Please don't. We use that naming scheme everywhere else. Plus, nothing
prevents any one from using one PF pin and one PA pin.

I'm still a bit skeptical about this. This wouldn't be in any way
consistant. I prefer to have something consistant and a bit duplicated
over something without any duplication but that confuses everyone
about what should be placed where.

You can also set it in pinctrl-0.

Don't
