Mixing MMIO and non-MMIO nodes in a bus is discouraged. Sloppy code.

Why the pins aren't per gpio-controller?

If the function is fixed, then you do not need any of this.

You must post COMPLETE bindings, see writing bindings doc.

Same here, pointless/redunadnt.

Drop above, irrelevant. Do you see any other bindings doing this?

You need to follow DTS coding style.
