IIUC that's only about having separate configs for each pin, instead of
groups like 'qup-spi0-default'. What you are doing above with 'qup_spi0_cs'
and 'qup_spi0_cs_gpio' is to configure the same pin (GPIO 3) both as SPI
chip select and as GPIO. Which one is it?

I imagine we want to have both pinctrl definitions to allow a board to
configure the pin either as SPI CS or GPIO. However it should be only one
of the two at a time, and the SoC .dtsi should provide a reasonable
default, which probably is SPI CS.

Maybe I'm missing something, if so please provide details on why it is
necessary to have this config.
