OK there are problems with this.

Something called "dt_pin_specifier" contains the string "pins"...

Then suddenly "groups".

The pointer variable should be named something like "subnode_target_type"
or so.

First add some comment describing what happens here and why
INVALID is specified.

Then what does this have to do with the $subject?

Atleast mention in the commit text that a new helper is added, though unused.
