I believe that Peter's explanation makes sense.

BTW, re: the new pinmux API: I have a driver for both Tegra20 and Tegra30
now which should work for muxing. All the data is present for all the pin
configs too (tri-state, pull, ...) but we need to define the core pinctrl
API for this before I can expose that. Similarly, we need DT bindings for
all of this before we can make use of it; something I hope to start work
on in the near future.
