> One solution (to avoid using not available groups) could be to have separate dtsi (or separate pinmux.dtsi) for different devices of same family like one for stm32f746 & other for stm32f769. Still it does not resolve the need to have lot of groups combinations for each instance of every peripheral in dtsi as mentioned above.

Yes, it is what I want to have. I did the job on for STM32F4 (F429 / 
F469). You could have a look on ARM Linux patchwork: 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9669433/

To sum-up the implementation:

-Pinmuxing is defined in separate files which will be included in board 
dts file.

-We have a common pinmuxing file + a dedicated pinmuxing file per SOC.

Example for STMF469-disco:
stm32f4-pinctrl.dtsi --> stm32f469-pinctrl.dtsi --> stm32f469-disco.dts

stm32f4-pinctrl.dtsi contains common pinmuxing bindings between STM32F4
stm32f469-pinctrl.dtsi contains dedicated pinmuxing bindings for 
STM32F469 (ex: QSPI pins, gpio-ranges ...)

This implementation is under review.


> It seems cleaner solution would be pin muxing in board dts file. Please let me know if there is some drawback of this approach. One point which i can think of is : duplication of pinmux groups in different board dts files.

Pinmuxing in board file is currently not my choice. In the board file we 
only select the group to use.
