This reverts commit 133ad0d9af99bdca90705dadd8d31c20bfc9919f.

On systems with older PMUFW (Xilinx ZynqMP Platform Management Firmware)
using these pinctrl properties can cause system hang because there is
missing feature autodetection.
When this feature is implemented, support for these two properties should
bring back.

So I'm going to get to review the revert of the revert at some point?
Why do the properties need to be removed from the binding? They work on
'not older' firmware, right? Isn't just removing the driver support or
removing from .dts files enough?

Removing functionality should be IMHO enough. Maybe make sense to inform users that there is missing functionality where they define these properties via DT.

Thanks,
Michal
