The hardware I have has the EN2 pin fix connected to ground. Looking
into http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/slos743k/slos743k.pdf page 19 table 6-3
and 6-4 the EN2 pin is a don;t core if EN = 1. If EN = 0 EN2 pin
selects between Power Down and Sleep Mode ... I see no reason why
this is not possible/allowed ...

Hmm.. I do not like the idea of deprecating the "ti,enable-gpios"
property into 2 seperate properties ... but if this would be a reason
for not accepting this patch, I can do this ... How should I name
the 2 new properties?

"ti,pin-enable"  and "ti,pin-enable2" ?

bye,
Heiko
