These are needed to switch a pin/pad from peripheral mode to gpio
mode.  Since tegra does peripheral muxing by pingroup but gpio muxing
by pin this does not fit into the pinmux code.  It's intended to be
used in board files much like pin muxing.

The tegra architecture does not define GPIOs numerically so treating
them as integers has no useful meaning.  It's true that these should
only be used in the board files.  I'll move the file into
arch/arm/mach-tegra.
