The convention on Qualcomm boards of this era is that muxing (setting
the function) is done under a "pinmux" node and, unless some of the
pins need to be treated differently like for the UARTs, configuration
(bias, drive strength, etc) is done under a "pinconf" subnode. I
believe that the "pinconf" subnode also needs to replicate the list of
pins, or at least that's what we did everywhere else on sdm845 /
sc7180.

Thus to match conventions, I assume you'd do:

&qup_spi2_default {
  pinconf {
    pins = "gpio27", "gpio28", "gpio29", "gpio30";
    drive-strength = <16>;
  };
};

We've since moved away from this to a less cumbersome approach, but
for "older" boards like db845c we should probably match the existing
convention, or have a flag day and change all sdm845 boards over to
the new convention.
