I get discouraged every time I look at using kernel pinmuxing.  It
seems to assume that some mux settings are "standard" when in my
experience that is often not so.  So I face having to write code to
undo what it does (and face glitches on the gpio lines), or the bigger
task of restructuring the code to do the right thing.

And up to now in each case I shrug and say "no time to do that now,
I'll just leave kernel pinmuxing turned off and do it in u-boot"
