I think it should be noted somewhere that those tools are needed for the
non-mainline Linux kernel for Allwinner SoCs, which has chosen to use
completely non-standard mechanisms for board definition files and
pinmuxing description. The mainline Linux effort does not require those
specific tools.
This should probably at least clearly be mentioned in the help text of
the package option.
Thanks !
Thomas
