I can see the point for ST evaluation kits as ST customer hardware
will often copy the reference designs.

That's good to hear and what I wanted to clarify. Especially for things like
ADCs, there are so many possible permutations that there is no point for
boards to add their pinctrl group to the main DTSI instead of just listing
their specific pin configuration in the board DTS.

Ahmad
