And what about usdhc? It leads to the same overrides in the carrier board
file:

&iomuxc {
	usdhc {
		/* GPIO4_IO20 is LVDS */
		pinctrl_mmc_cd: gpio_mmc_cd {
		};

		/* Used as misc GPIOs */
		pinctrl_usdhc1: usdhc1grp {
		};
	};
};

It's simple, if you just leave it as it is, then it will never get merged.
That's how kernel development works :) We've at least two options here:

1. Follow the old path and just convert those macros to hex values
2. Rework it - move those macros to some header file etc.
