Implementation in Linux almost does not matter here. Bindings location
match the device main purpose. We indeed stuff into MFD bindings things
like PMIC, because PMIC is a bit more than just regulators, and we do
not have here subsystem for PMICs. If you call it Audio Codec, then I
vote for sound directory for bindings.

The additional/unevaluatedProperties from child nodes are indeed moved
then up - following the property:
   pinctrl:
     type: object
     additionalProperties: false

but that's exception and for the rest I don't see any troubles with
indentation. That would be the only binding... so what's here so special?

Sure, but then you do not need pin-settings. Look at Qualcomm bindings
for example:
