I did other experiments, with pins i used in the last days so I am sure
they perform in the mode i am setting them in the DTO. (except for 
mode-6 in P9.30,
wich is just a variation respect to the previous example.)

I load 2 overlays where i define :
---------------
       pinctrl-single,pins = <
              0x154 0x03        /* P9.21 */
              0x150 0x03        /* P9.22 */
         >;
   .....
              0x198 0x06    /* PRU0-2 -- P9.30
---------------

Now i devmem all the 3 pin:
----------
root@bbb-FBS-12-APLHA:~/code/devmem2 # ./dm2 0x44e10954 b
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0x20221000.
Value at address 0x44E10954 (0x20221954): 0x3

./dm2 0x44e10950 b
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0x20221000.
Value at address 0x44E10950 (0x20221950): 0x3

root@bbb-FBS-12-APLHA:~/code/devmem2 # ./dm2 0x44e10998 b
/dev/mem opened.
Memory mapped at address 0x20221000.
Value at address 0x44E10998 (0x20221998): 0x6
---------

I think devmem2 is working.

Don't ask me why, i modified other people code, that's it ;)

bye
n.
