This binding document doesn't appear to define any compatible value. I
think there should be one binding document per compatible value, rather
than splitting up the documentation of a particular binding into lots of
different files. As such, shouldn't this documentation all be part of
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/as3722-regulator.txt?

Which "DT node"? This paragraph doesn't make much sense...

I think that paragraph is meant to say the following, as part of
as3722-regulator.txt:

==========
Optional sub-nodes:

- pinmux: Represents the pinmux configuration of the AS3722 GPIO pins.
This node contains pin configuration nodes, as defined by
pinctrl-bindings.txt
==========

(and then go on to describe the required/optional properties within the
pin configuration nodes)

I would say "pin property" rather than "pin names" here, to make it
obvious where these values are used.

Similarly, "function property" here. (and values for not value of).

Other than that, this binding looks reasonable.
