Ironically, my pre-RFC version tried to convert all BCM2835 pinmux
settings to generic ones. Unfortunately it seems that i made a mistake,
because it didn't work as expected. Since we stumpled above more and
more other issues (not relevant to pinctrl) during upstream review, i
decided to start with legacy pull-up support, so we can fix this later
in the devicetree for both platforms (currently BCM2711 uses most of the
old BCM2835 pinmuxes including the legacy stuff). So yes my plan is to
fix this soon.
