That should be an error because the length is too short so it should
go with some default from the code.

Looks like there is no user, though no property could mean keep the
default/bootloader setting. Can you sort out which type is really
desired here and hopefully we can get rid of the other type. It's not
the first case of pinctrl properties with multiple types, but we don't
really need more.
