SPI pins of the SPICC Controller in Meson-GX needs to be controlled by
pin biais when idle. Therefore define three pinctrl names:
- default: SPI pins are controlled by spi function.
- idle-high: SCLK pin is pulled-up, but MOSI/MISO are still controlled
by spi function.
- idle-low: SCLK pin is pulled-down, but MOSI/MISO are still controlled
by spi function.

Why do you need all these in the bindings?

SPI clock bias needs to change at runtime depending on SPI mode, here is an example of

how this is supposed to be used ("spi_idle_low_pins" and "spi_idle_low_pins" are defined

in the second patch of this series):

I know what it the point in general of pinctrl configuration... But the
question is why do you need to specify them in the bindings? Core
handles that. IOW, do you require them and missing/incomplete pinctrl
should be reported?

Looking at other bindings, when specific pinctrl state names were requires, they were
documented.

There's some bindings with pinctrl-names for specific states like rockchip/rockchip,dw-hdmi.yaml,
mediatek/mediatek,dpi.yaml, mmc/mtk-sd.yaml or mmc/fsl-imx-esdhc.yaml
