I just realized that my commit title isn't that great, as it doesn't
mention the board. Something like:

	ARM: dts: kirkwood: fix pin-muxing of MPP7 on OpenBlocks A7

would have been better.

Grégory: let me know if you want me to send a v2, or if you can fix up
this while applying.

Thanks!

Thomas
