In the Mediatek driver we use 'pinmux' as name for the property
containing the combined pin number / mux value defines. 'pinmux' better
describes what it is...

... and has the advantage that you don't have to pass in a
complex_pin_desc variable from the driver as the different property
name inherently carries this information. 'pins' can then stay a
property containing only strings.

I don't like that even though pins have numbers here they are converted
to strings which the driver later has to search in a list just to
convert it back into the number. This is quite inefficient.
I guess this could be optimized later, but it would be nice to have the
pin number directly in the driver.
