Haojian was working on the PXA pinctrl drivers, but I don't know how far
that is yet.

If that's not yet there, have a look at the pinctrl-single driver. It's
admittedly not as nice to use as the constants in the board file as DT
lacks defines for numerical constants, but's at least a workaround.

On a more general note, it's arguable whether this kind of setup should
be done in the bootloader after all.
