However, a lot of embedded systems don't even have man pages... This information can be derived mostly from the pinmux stuff that (should be) in our .dts files. However, there’s no standard way to communicate these things. So the strongest we could do for this non-standard property is “freebsd,location”, even though it is a strong candidate for having it without since that describes hardware. I’d squirrel this away in the dev sysctl tree though, since otherwise the boot will get rather uncomfortably chatty.
