Groups' functions are not the same between BG2/BG2CD and BG2Q so multiple
headers would be needed which may not be a good thing. Some platforms use black
magic, and we can find a pinmux configuration for OMAP looking like:

0x128 (PIN_INPUT_PULLUP | MUX_MODE0)

Weel, we could explicitly define the functions in the driver itself and use in
the dt something like:

berlin,group = "GSM4";
berlin,function = "uart0";

This is what's done on the sunxi's pinctrl.
