I think it can. I vaguely remember seeing conditional clauses based on 
compatible strings in other yaml bindings.

I started a new binding document because I expected adding significant 
additions to the existing .txt files would be rejected. If I get some 
cycles I could look at converting the existing docs from txt to yaml.

I'm not sure that there will be much in the way of a common 
mvebu-pinctrl.yaml as you'd end up repeating most of the common stuff to 
make things conditional anyway.
