There's a bit of a dtb size and boot time issue for adding properties
for each pin where that needs to be done for several hundred pins :)

So with an interrupt style binding with generic pinconf flags we can
leave out the parsing of multiple properties for each pin. Sure the
pin is only referenced by the controller like you pointed out but the
pinconf flags could be generic.
