Optionally an alternative binding can be used if more suitable depending on the

different pins and functions depending on the SoC revision and packaging.

this is to avoid mapping of the index in the dts files and the pin controller

For hardware where pin multiplexing configurations have to be specified for
each single pin the number of required sub-nodes containing "pin" and
"function" properties can quickly escalate and become hard to write and
maintain.
For cases like this, the pin controller driver may use the pinmux helper
property, where the pin identifier is packed with mux configuration settings
in a single integer.
The pinmux property accepts an array of integers, each of them describing
a single pin multiplexing configuration.
pincontroller {
state_0_node_a {
pinmux = <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, <PIN_ID_AND_MUX>, ...;

Each individual pin controller driver bindings documentation shall specify
how those values (pin IDs and pin multiplexing configuration) are defined and
assembled together.
