[v2 2/3] dt-bindings: pinctrl: Add cix,sky1-pinctrl

[Linus Walleij]

Hi Gary,

thanks for your patch!

Overall this is starting to look good.

Please make the bindings patch 1/3 because we usually put the bindings
first.

Some comments below!

I'm not sure the binding maintainers want this info here, if the same is inside
pincfg-node.yaml, I would just skip it.

No reference to arch/arm64 in the bindings please. Just
drop this.

The bindings are used by U-Boot and FreeBSD as well so these
developers will be confused by any Linux-specific references.

Same thing.

This looks good to me, I don't know if the bindings maintainers have
opinions on the placement of defines in examples.
