What is done elsewhere is that if it's the only option, just call it
$controller_pins and make that the default. If it isn't, then call it
$(controller)_$(bank)_pins, and put it at the board level.

If it's not the only muxing option, then your name should be called
mmc1-pg-pins

We haven't encountered a case where the 1-bit bus was actually used,
so there's no need to take care of that.
