That's correct.  We did have a patch floating around to configure all
the pinmux settings in coreboot, but that never made it in.  While we
could issue a R/W firmware update to apply the pinmux settings
(unlikely to happen), it would still result in pinmux settings being
applied in two separate locations - which, IIRC, was exactly what
Stephen was trying to avoid by moving pinmux out of the device-trees.
So I'd agree that pulling the pinmux settings out of the nyan*
device-trees is not a good idea.
