Because only the UART pins are required here. Since the CPU has
already loaded the SPL from SPI flash or is executing the SPL from NOR
flash or whatever, the pins for memory access are already configured.
Later the board specific file can do all the configuration that it
actually needs, see board/davinci/da8xxevm/da850evm.c.

Actually the number of read, writes, logic operations will depend on
the number of GPIO pins you use on your board. I guess you will not
change the pinmux settings of pins you didn't connect on your board.
But yes, these are a lot of operations that need to be done.

How about using an approach like in board/davinci/da8xxevm/da850evm.c.
There we have several structs like

static const struct pinmux_config spi1_pins[] = {
...
}

that defines pinmux for groups of pins that are usually used together.

Later, these groups are put together in

static const struct pinmux_resource pinmuxes[] = {
        { DAVINCI_LPSC_AEMIF }, /* NAND, NOR */
        { DAVINCI_LPSC_SPI1 },  /* Serial Flash */
        { DAVINCI_LPSC_EMAC },  /* image download */
        { DAVINCI_LPSC_UART2 }, /* console */
        { DAVINCI_LPSC_GPIO },
};

We could move the pinmux_config structs to a header file which would reduce
the code in your board config file to a few lines, you only would need
a pinmux_resource struct.

Still we need to do pinmuxing for UART (and maybe also for other pins) in
the SPL. How do you like the approach in static void set_mux_conf_regs(void)
in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap-common/hwinit-common.c? Depending on the
context either the pins that are essential for the SPL or
all other pins are configured.

This would at least reduce the number of code lines that you need for a
new board. And this code would be much easier to understand than this
list of magic numbers.
