I like it, if it wasn't RFC I would merge it.

Hm we can maybe think of something more descriptive
to the first one?

I think the new function is very much to the point. That's what
it does. pinctrl_generic_pins_function_dt_node_to_map() could
perhaps be names something that make it evident what is
special about it. Not that I have a good idea.

Looks Good To Me (TM) no-one else is helping out with pin
control core work so I'm happy for everything I get.
