Inspired by the excellent overlay created by Bas Laarhoven for the
BeBoPr boards, I am reworking my PRU code for LinuxCNC and plan on
creating a "universal" device tree overlay.

The basic idea is to enable all of the expected useful SoC features
(GPIO, I2C, serial ports, timers, PRU direct I/O) and have control over
the function of each individual pin via sysfs entries.  This should
allow things like using the Rx pin of a serial port for communications,
and the Tx pin of the same port for GPIO.

Questions:
* Is there any fundamental reason why this seems like it won't work or
is otherwise a bad idea?

* Has this been done already?  It seems too useful for someone else not
to have implemented, and I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if it's
already out there.
