The thing I don't understand is why this stuff has to be so complicated. I 
understand that the device tree is necessary to be able to support the 
thousands of ARM SoC and boards, and that that's going to be complicated, 
but the HW for the BBB is fixed. Would it be possible to start with a 
simple file that lists the ~80 I/O pins of the BBB and next to each one has 
a little selector for which of the ~8 possible functions one would like to 
enable for this pin; and then compile this file into a DTS? It seems to me 
that a flat file like this is something anyone can grok and edit. The DTS 
files require hours of research and tinkering...
