I kind of agree. I've seen different ways of describing pinmux. What
i've done for Kirkwood was to put all the common pinmux configurations
into the SoC .dtsi file. The .dts file can then reference it if
needed.

In this case, since the bus is unused, it seems odd to mux it. And
later versions of the board could actually use the pins for something
else, GPIOs etc.
