For development phase, flexibility is important (after boot pinmuxing). 
Once your design is finished, a matching overlay is advantageous (pinmuxing 
at boot time, faster, less memory).

Use either config-pin or libpruio-00A0.dtbo for punmuxing (the later is 
more save).

The slots file was removed since any 4.x kernel (>4.4 AFAIR). Never kernels 
are not good documented, and you'll find different examples. It's hard to 
keep track. From my point of view, they're still experimental.

If you want fast and successful development, I recommend falling back to a 
3.8 kernel. You'll find good documented examples, and you'll get to a steep 
learning curve. You can switch to a never kernel later, when you know what 
you need.
