Aha!

Is it typically a few pads like this, say 2,3,4 alternatives,
sometimes just one?

So the actual relation is not 1..1 nor 1...* but 1..<a few>?

In the current design it is the pinmux driver that
keeps track of that. Not the subsystem.

I think the question then is how the pinctrl subsystem
can help out in keeping that information together.

I'll try to think of something ...
