Just a quick late night question to people with more knowledge than me:

These chips only have one pinctrl configuration for can0 and can1. Should the
can nodes have this pre-set instead of the board dts doing this?

I see this happening in sun4i-a10.dtsi for instance, but it also seems like it
could become a problem when it comes to re-using the dtsi for newer chip variants.
