I don't agree with it.
Someone doesn't like to assign a pin name individually because a
pin number is sufficient to represent each pin.
We also provide a macro to define a anonymous pin descriptor.

/* Convenience macro to define a single named or anonymous pin descriptor */
#define PINCTRL_PIN(a, b) { .number = a, .name = b }
#define PINCTRL_PIN_ANON(a) { .number = a }

If we use only the pin name for [get|set]_config(), we must assign the name
of all pins.
IMHO, we also provide pin numbers to control anonymous pins.
