I had thought about trying to put the options in the tegra124.dtsi, but
I am not sure if there is an easy way to do that without having ...

	padctl@0,7009f000 {
		...

		padctl_option1: pinmux {
			usb3 {...};		
			pcie {...};
			sata {...};
		};
		padctl_option2: pinmux {
			usb3 {...};
			pcie {...};
			sata {...};
		};
		...
		padctl_optionN: pinmux {
			usb3 {...};
			pcie {...};
			sata {...};
		};
	};

... that would be a long-ish list. Unless there is a better way to do it?

That's fine with me. Are you ok with this patch as-is going upstream for
now?
