Hey Jason, First of all thanks for all the work (and from many others on this) for the BeagleBone et. al.!
This is just my 2c and it's probably worth that much. What I would say is that it shouldn't matter that the board uses device tree or <insert new thing here>. What designers of capes want, I think, is the ability to configure the beaglebone (or pocket beagle) as they like. With the device tree, as you've shown, this is how one accomplishes that task. But I'm stumbled through building device tree fragments before and it's a bit painful. What I would suggest is a tool that makes device tree generation easier. This probably should be a GUI (with scripting option). But as a HW designer for a cape, if I could click pins on a GUI, set modes, defaults, etc... and out spit a device tree fragment, I would think that'd be cool. I'm also not volunteering to build this :) But if the device tree fragment is the output, clearly a nicer frontend can be made to produce this. And I realize there's all sorts of complexity here, I'm just suggest the idea of a tool to more easily produce device tree fragments.
