Understood. I will remove the `|` from in v3.

Yes, the `dt_binding_check` robot caught this right away. I will
removed the redundant `$ref` and resolved the warning locally.

I will update the regex and set the reg maximum to 11 to strictly reflect
the 12 possible MUX configurations supported by the hardware.

I will add these properties to the binding to fully describe
the hardware capabilities.
