I'd like to keep this series to what is needed before DRAM is up.
PCIe and Ethernet are not used in that phase, and their pinctrl-0
entries are already in the board files.

For the boot media, the BootROM has already set up the pins of the
device it loaded the SPL from. U-Boot's spacemit_k1_defconfig does
not enable SPL_PINCTRL or SPL_GPIO either, so the tags would have no
user today. SD boot on a Milk-V Jupiter works without them.

E also asked on the cover letter to keep the BootROM part and the DRAM
part apart, so I'd rather not widen it.

These names come from the U-Boot SPL code, not from the board
schematics, and U-Boot already sets them in
arch/riscv/dts/k1-bananapi-f3-u-boot.dtsi and k1-musepi-pro-u-boot.dtsi.
I think that is the right place for them.

Thanks for testing. Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
