I'm confused now :-) . Current linux-next [0] shows the pin-settings as part 
of imx6sl.dtsi - a way a lot of other architectures organize their pingroups 
too, with the board file only referencing the relevant pingroups from the 
predefined ones of the soc.

So I guess your move to the pingrp-header moved them out of the imx6sl.dtsi to 
the .h and is not part of linux-next;

Yes, my for-next branch was excluded from linux-next temporarily for
some reason.  I will ask Stephen to add it back once v3.14-rc1 is out.
That said, you can see nothing we developed in this cycle on linux-next
for now.

but this patch (and the others in this 
series) now moves the definitions into the individual board files. Can't you 
just move them back to the soc-dtsi files to prevent each board duplicating 
them?

No.  That will bring back the problem we try to solve from the
beginning [1].
