Btw if it helps Tony, i have no problem adding a "adafruit" cape, that has some default usart/spi/etc settings. But i'm betting you want full gpio control for your library so that won't work. Otherwise, your library might also have to generate the *.dts yourself based on how the end user setup their project. You can grap the template from the dtb-rebuilder and just issue "make" to generate the *.dtb (of course they will have to reboot..)
