As I've already pointed out (1) this covers only one possibility of UART pin
muxing options. I agree that it makes sense when this is a part of the
board-specific code. However, forcing specific pins configuration in the generic
driver seems problematic to me, even if most Tegra2 boards use the same
configuration.
As a side note, I'd prefer to have all the pin multiplexing defined in one place
in board file rather than scattered among different drivers.
