The pin-controller is used to control the Soc pins.
There are two pin-controllers on Cix Sky1 platform.
One is used under S0 state, the other is used under
S0 and S5 state.

Can't you just include both pinmux-node.yaml and pincfg-node.yaml
to get validation from the generic schemas?

'pins$':
  type: object
  additionalProperties: false
  patternProperties:
    '(^pins|pins?$)':
      type: object
      $ref: /schemas/pinctrl/pinmux-node.yaml
      $ref: /schemas/pinctrl/pincfg-node.yaml
      additionalProperties: false

Something like this, I never get this right before actually testcompiling...

Yours,
