But the plan is to get rid of those 6000 lines of pinmux data that
exists today for OMAP. I did not remove it now, because I still need
to take care of the pull up/down configurations which are missing.
Once thats in place, we can get rid of the existing data completely.

Linus,
Is there a plan to move even the data that exists in the pinmux
drivers today (including the function/pin-groups definition)
eventually to DT? Or is it just the 'mapping' data to map
devices to functions (that today is done from board files) which
alone will be moved?
