Does having the tvout pin change the pinmux options or is that pin
strictly single use?

(And if it is strictly single use, is adding that pin the entirety of
the software visible hardware changes?)

IMHO that's enough of a change to warrant a new DTSI, I feel that
someone's going to use the lack of DTSI as "proof" that we don't
support the R8 or try to use the tv encoder on an A13.
