Hi Arnd,

The split I had in mind is more to the effect that the .dtsi file

while the board specific file describes how they are set up. Does that
make sense? I think I'm still missing some essential aspect of what the
pinmux code actually does ;-)

I now saw that you have the full description in the
arch/arm/mach-tegra/pinmux-t2-tables.c and arch/arm/mach-tegra/pinmux.c
files, with all the names again, and apparently your patch set leaves
these around. Do you think it's possible to actually move the static
tables from there into the device tree and do the entire setup based
on that?

The platform I'm working on has a different method of muxing for almost 
every pin (some aren't even memory mapped registers) so defining the SoC 
pin definitions in the DTS could result in some pretty horrible 
bindings.

Stephens bindings for configuring the muxing of the pins works quite 
nicely for our platform though, and I'm just about to post patches that 
abstract the tegra specific bits out.
