Alright. So could we then make similar patches for other SoCs that have
the same situation with the MMC pinmuxing? I.e. let's move the pinctrl
to the dtsi file from the dts files. With H3 SDC0 and SDC1 nodes could
be moved then to the dtsi. Can't we also move the SDC0 pinctrl in A83T
to the dtsi file? Though, in order to do that mmc0_cd_pin node needs to
be added to the A38T dtsi.
