Could we keep as it is? I try to avoid adding more changes if not critical.

If I expand the macro the imx7d, imx8qm, imx8qxp hwdata, 24 lines will be
duplicated. I would keep as it is.

The current hwdata as below:
static struct mxc_gpio_hwdata imx7d_gpio_hwdata = {
        MXC_GPIO_HW_DATA_COMMON,
        .flags = MXC_GPIO_HAS_POWER_OFF,
};

static struct mxc_gpio_hwdata imx8qm_gpio_hwdata = {
        MXC_GPIO_HW_DATA_COMMON,
        .flags = MXC_GPIO_FALL_EDGE_WAKEUP_BROKEN | MXC_GPIO_HAS_PAD_WAKEUP,
};

static struct mxc_gpio_hwdata imx8qxp_gpio_hwdata = {
        MXC_GPIO_HW_DATA_COMMON,
        .flags = MXC_GPIO_HAS_PAD_WAKEUP,
};
