So this setup is true for NVIDIA-controlled development/reference boards 
where we've ensured that the bootloader sets up 100% of the pinmux.

However, I know that Coreboot on this board doesn't set up everything in 
the pinmux, and since it's in r/o flash never will. As such, I'm not 
sure this change is safe for this board. That is, unless you want to 
force upstream kernels to be booted via a chain-loaded path: Coreboot 
(r/o) -> U-Boot (r/w with full pinmux setup) -> kernel.

There are presumably a bunch of features which aren't yet supported 
upstream, and hence you couldn't test though? That means we might find 
that parts of the pinmux aren't yet programmed but need to be to enable 
those features.
