"pins" node could dump the register configuration if it's pinctrl-single driver.

You can dump this to check whether the right pinmux is set.

I checked your patch in the link. It seems that you only write the pinmux
configuration without using them.

Don't forget to append this in your DTS file.
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&wind_pins>;

There're two documents worth to read for enabling pins for
pinctrl-single driver.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-single.txt
