pinctrl itself certainly imposes no such restriction that I'm aware of.
pinctrl is only concerned with the ownership of *pins* (or perhaps
groups). The mapping of pins to registers is something entirely internal
to individual pinctrl drivers.

So, the solution here is for pinctrl-single to create a separate
pin/group object for each separately controllable entity, and that may
be each bit in a register rather than each register, depending on HW.
