I did the same for sm6350-lena, which we should flatten out then too.

For these uses I'm not sure when it's clearer/better to use:

    thing@x {
        pinctrl-0 = <&thing_state>;
        ...
    };

    thing_state: thing-state {
        specific-pin {
            ...
        };

        other-specific-pin ...
        ...
    };

Or separate out the pins with their own state and instead use:

    thing@x {
        pinctrl-0 = <&specific_pin1_state &specific_pin2_state>;
        ...
    };

If I had to guess the former groups related pins together (as we finally
do now for SDC...) which should all be toggled at once.  In this
specific gpio-keys case, irrespective of whether it has one or more
keys, the pins aren't related apart from representing keys, and should
thus better be individual pinctrl nodes and individually referenced in
pinctrl-X.

Did I sympathize that correctly?

(side-note: the SDC pinctrl groups typically get extended with a
 card-detect pin in board DTS or in some likely-erroneous cases directly
 in SoC DTSI.  This may also count as unrelated pins being grouped
 together only because that is how the hardware/DTS node consumes them,
 but it is rather concise/readable/convenient though...)
