Thank you for pointing this out.  That is my goal with the line names.

Just to clarify, the patch was for the BeagleBone {White,Green,Black}
which have P8 and P9 headers.

The PocketBeagle has lower pin count headers labeled P1 and P2.  I do 
plan to submit a patch for am335x-pocketbeagle.dts with the respective
line names, but I wanted to first integrate feedback regarding P8/P9 on
the bone.

thanks,
