Sorry, that still doesn't make much sense. Either way though, having
separate pinctrl setup for a single device isn't going to work. You'll
either need to have all combinations of 4 (8?) PWMs represented as
pinctrl states(!), or register separate PWM devices so that they get
independant pinctrl states.
