That binding is more about documenting a bank of GPIO pins, while
chips like OMAP will need something a bit more flexible.

Given the flexibility and complexity of configuring the pins on
mobile-oriented SoCs where each function can come out a variety of
different pins, and many pins can 3 or 4 functions associated with them
(selected by software config), it will definitely bring a new level of
complexity to the device tree descriptions.

I'm definitely not saying that it is impossible, but it might take a
little work to hash out a binding that everyone will be happy with.
