Currently there are 3 different pinctrl core's available for MediaTek
SoCs:

1. Legacy core - pinctrl-mtk-common.c
2. Moore core - pinctrl-moore.c pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.c
3. Paris core - pinctrl-paris.c pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.c

AFAIU pinctrl-mt65xx binding documents the SoC's based on MediaTek's legacy
pinctrl-mtk-common.c core. Whereas MT6797 is based on the MediaTek's Paris
core. There isn't any binding doc available for the Paris core SoC's yet.
That's why I have created a new bindings doc and expecting the remaining SoC's
of Paris family to be included in new pinctrl-mt6797.txt.

Hope this makes clear!

Thanks,
Mani
