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.
