I get the same issue on at91

and was thinking to do this in DT

functions {
	rxd_pb12 {
		atmel,pin-id = <44>;
		atmel,mux = <0>;
	};

	txd_pb13 {
		atmel,pin-id = <45>;
		atmel,pull = <2>;
		atmel,mux = <0>;
	};

	txd0_pb19 {
		atmel,pin-id = <51>;
		atmel,pull = <2>;
		atmel,mux = <0>;
	};

	rxd0_pb18 {
		atmel,pin-id = <50>;
		atmel,mux = <0>;
	};

	rts0_pb17 {
		atmel,pin-id = <49>;
		atmel,mux = <1>;
	};

	cts0_pb15 {
		atmel,pin-id = <47>;
		atmel,mux = <1>;
	};
};

groups {
	dbgu {
		atmel,functions = < &rxd_pb12
				   &txd_pb13 >;
	};

	uart0_rxd_txd {
		atmel,functions = < &rxd0_pb18
				   &txd0_pb19 >;
	};

	uart0_rts_cts {
		atmel,functions = < &rxd0_pb18
				   &txd0_pb19
				   &rts0_pb17
				   &cts0_pb15 >;
	}
};

so first you describe the pin fuction and then in the group just list the phandles

if we do like this  we could have a genenric C code to handle this

for the group part
