Thanks! I don't see these macros used anywhere, though.

This seems to be a completely different thing. This is the header that
contains the helper functions to get GPIO-related device tree nodes,
isn't it?

If I do that, I need to add also a separate flag to define whether the
XTAL clock is used or not. For instance, we have 26MHz and 26MHz
