ok it's a bit more precise. Honestly I don't understand why the current 
topology is an issue here. Maybe pinctrl SAI nodes names are not well 
chosen or are not enough explicit. Concerning our topology and the NXP 
ones both exists and both have advantages and drawbacks. For ST boards 
(DK/EV) we want to keep all configs in the same place.

As I prefer to not re open this topic again and again, feel free to add 
your pin config in your dts board file, I'll accept it.
