Yes, thinking again, we will repeat using this for other SoCs as well for
gpio-ranges. I think it might be better if we did this instead:

/* Default mux configuration for gpio-ranges use with pinctrl */
#define PIN_GPIO_RANGE_IOPAD  (PIN_INPUT | 7)

* Clears up the understanding what the define is for.
* Consistent usage across K3 SoCs.
* Prevents mis-understanding where to use the macro.

Thoughts?
