That is definately how it should be done. Seems like a good
idea to me.

Don't worry that pinctrl does not support it - patch pinctrl core!

Just make a separate patch which patches drivers/pinctrl/pinmux.c
to ass the device tree parsing you need from the core, and we'll
review it.

I am by far too incompetent in device tree mechanisms to do
that myself, I have never worked much on device tree.

Thanks,
