Pinmux bindings proposal V2

Here's V2 of my pinmux binding proposal, after incorporating some feedback
from Shawn Guo and Dong Aisheng. Main changes:
1) Require the "pin config" nodes the be children of the pinmux controller
node, rather than allowing them to alternatively be children of the
device node that's using them. This allows removal of the pin controller
phandle as the first entry in each specifier.
2) Add explicit #pinmux-cells and #pinconfig-cells properties to the pin
controller, so that pin controllers can define the layout of their mux
and configuration specifiers.
3) Don't document a "1:1" model; only document a "1:n" model, whereby each
named state for a device node can refer to multiple pin configuration
nodes. This allows:
a) A device to use multiple configuration nodes from a single pin
controller. For example, one may specify a very common subset of
the configuration for a particular device, and another may specify
a few board-specific tweaks on top of that.
b) A single device to specify configurations for multiple pin
controllers.
TODO: I should write a real binding document for this, rather than simply
providing a commented example.
Note: I've used named constants below just to make this easier to read.
We still don't have a solution to actually use named constants in dtc yet.

* could easily have a single node for devices that don't
