Oh!! Sorry, I changed it but no sent the good commit :).

Please translate blablable by:

Initially each pin was declared in 
"include/dt-bindings/stm32f429-pinfunc.h"and each definition contained 
SOC names (ex: STM32F429_PA9_FUNC_USART1_TX).
Since this approach was approved, the number of supported MCU has
increased (STM32F429/STM32F469/STM32f746/STM32H743). To avoid to add a 
new file in "include/dt-bindings" each time a new STM32 SOC arrives I 
propose a new approach which consist to use a macro to define pin muxing 
in device tree. All STM32 will use the common macro to define pinmux. 
Furthermore, it will make easy maintenance and integration of new SOC.

Alex
