Following 6dbaff2b, the kernel expects that the bootloader has correctly
programmed the Tegra pinmux.

DTs for the Jetson and the Venice2 had been updated already but this one
was left behind.

So this setup is true for NVIDIA-controlled development/reference boards
where we've ensured that the bootloader sets up 100% of the pinmux.

However, I know that Coreboot on this board doesn't set up everything in the
pinmux, and since it's in r/o flash never will. As such, I'm not sure this
change is safe for this board. That is, unless you want to force upstream
kernels to be booted via a chain-loaded path: Coreboot (r/o) -> U-Boot (r/w
with full pinmux setup) -> kernel.

Have tested this with the stock vendor firmware (coreboot) and have found
no
issues.

There are presumably a bunch of features which aren't yet supported
upstream, and hence you couldn't test though? That means we might find that
parts of the pinmux aren't yet programmed but need to be to enable those
features.

Sure, there's no chance that my testing could have been extensive enough.

Following Andrew's feedback, I will be looking at getting the pinmux
programming right in the DTs.

Thanks,

Tomeu
