For the common modules, we should have generic platform init code
using hwmod. And that init code is the logical place to do the muxing.

We also need to consider that the pin muxing is board specific.
So in cases where the are alternative signal paths, we need to pass
the signal names from board-*.c file to the platform driver init code.
