It did not exist before this patch series.

I thought it would be good idea to add a compatible string to tell if 
the pinctrl subnodes support the generic-pinconf binding,
without modifying the current compatible strings:
if compatible string contains the "generic-pinconf" then the pinconf 
definitions should be considered generic.

However, after discussing it with Stephen, Jean-Christophe and Nicolas, 
I no longer think this is a good idea
(backward compatibility issues).

This was added in the first patch of this series:
