A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "binding". The "dt-bindings"
prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

@9 is not valid? Aren't you using some non-numerical values?

Just "pulses-per-revolution"

Drop entire node pwm.

Drop entire node gpio.

If this is pinctrl, then make it a pinctrl.
