The Avaota A1 board has an IR receiver chip on the PCB (next to the
Ethernet jacks), wired to the PI8 pin on the SoC.

Add the pin description to the PIO DT node, and enable the CIR receiver
in the main power domain.

Tested on the board with evtest and some random TV remote control.

Hi,

this goes on top of Justin's A523/H728/T527 IR receiver series.

Cheers,
Andre

arm64: dts: allwinner: a523: enable IR on the Avaota A1

This commit adds the IR receiver pin description to the PIO DT node
and enables the CIR receiver in the main power domain for the Avaota A1
board.

[Severity: Low]
Does this node extension cause a build failure when compiling the device tree?

It looks like the &ir label is not defined in the base sun55i-a523.dtsi file
or any of its dependencies, which would cause dtc to fail with an unresolved
reference error. 

The commit message notes that this patch goes on top of another IR receiver
series. Should that base dependency be merged first to ensure the build
remains unbroken?
