Do we usually put these things into bindings?

OK so there is a way to state which lines are used for PWM.

I think you should also specify which lines are used for GPIO,
and which lines are used for LEDs.

And I'd like the masks to be passed to each subdriver, so we
can avoid the scenario where one and the same line gets
used for GPIO, LED and PWM at the same time.

Yours,
