OK...

Don't use vendor prefix. Use the new standard notation, just "pins".
See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt

No. Don't hardcode register offsets into the DTS files. This is
something the driver should know from the compatible string or
instance number, not by explicit reference.

NACK. Make your Kconfig select GENERIC_PINCONF and use the
already existing generic pin configuration specifiers from the standard
bindings. Like bias-pull-up; etc.

This kind of custom pin config is a thing of the past.

You might have to use separate parameters for muxing and config
in your description.

I saw this other thing:

We can now describe muxing (altmodes etc) in two ways as described
in the generic bindings in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt

This is done by strings combining a function with N groups.

We are also discussing having a single config number setting up
all and keeping down the size of the DTB (which
is close to what you're doing here). Please take part in that
discussion to standardize such bindings. Sascha Hauer and
others are involved, don't know the exact topic right now but
it involved using a single "pinmux" parameter in the device treel.

All agree on using the standardized pin config bindings henceforth
so start by migrating to these.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

+* STM32 GPIO and Pin Mux/Config controller
+
+STMicroelectronics's STM32 MCUs intregrate a GPIO and Pin mux/config hardware
+controller. It controls the input/output settings on the available pins and
+also provides ability to multiplex and configure the output of various on-chip
+controllers onto these pads.
+
+Pin controller node:
+Required properies:
+- compatible	: "st,stm32-pinctrl"
+- #address-cells: The value of this property must be 1
+- #size-cells	: The value of this property must be 1
+- ranges	: defines mapping between pin controller node (parent) to
+  gpio-bank node (children).
+
+GPIO controller/bank node:
+Required properties:
+- gpio-controller : Indicates this device is a GPIO controller
+- #gpio-cells	  : Should be two.
+			The first cell is the pin number
+			The second one is the polarity:
+				- 0 for active high
+				- 1 for active low
+- reg		  : The gpio address range, relative to the pinctrl range
+- st,bank-name	  : Should be a name string for this bank as specified in
+  the datasheet
+
+Optional properties:
+- reset:	  : Reference to the reset controller
+
+Example:
+#include <dt-bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-stm32.h>
+...
+
+	pin-controller {
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <1>;
+		compatible = "st,stm32-pinctrl";
+		ranges = <0 0x40020000 0x3000>;
+
+		gpioa: gpio@40020000 {
+			gpio-controller;
+			#gpio-cells = <2>;
+			reg = <0x0 0x400>;
+			resets = <&reset_ahb1 0>;
