I am in the process of converting the mips/lantiq/ target to OF and
pinctrl amongst over things.
i stumbled across the 2 patches i mailed today. i will be able to spare
a couple of hours tomorrow
to see if i can find more places where debug output would make sense.

that is the case. lets see what i can come up with.
