but will eventually be sold externally? I assume this is not an TI 
internal only board.

Might be good to explicitly configure it - no strong opinions though -> 
GPIOs are always good to pinctrl up esp if bootloader screws up at a 
later date.

Rule of thumb is to do the following:
MIN(MAX_FREQ(D1), MAX_FREQ(D2).... MAX_FREQ(Dn));
where D1..n are all the peripherals on this i2c bus.

Device tree is description of hardware, not just who uses what in OS of 
interest.

you might consider u-boot to use the same device tree at a later date 
and having complete details about the hardware is always the norm.

I suggest setting the voltage here to be complete even if there are no 
current users.

If you really want to go down that road, so you could probably help 
review the pinctrl patches I posted to enable pinctrl wakeup[1]?

Come on, as of today, there is no ability to suspend AM437x without 
doing [1], let alone talk about wakeup gpio vs interrupt-extended. and 
do we really want to wakeup from suspend when touch screen is touched?

Do you expect wake-gpio to work even after doing interrupt based 
solution? I am no edt driver expert... maybe you can help me here.

it does not - I agree, except, when you look at all other nodes:
status="okay"
pinctrl
other things..

it is just a symmetry thing, I guess..

USB works without a supply? even a fixed voltage supply? that is weird.
