As a reminder, we need to decide whether to register an SDHI (SD controller) 
device or a WiFi module device, and thus configure pinmuxing appropriately, 
based on the state of a GPIO connected to a user-accessible switch. This 
behaviour is board-specific, not SoC-specific. That's why I believe the code 
should be in board code.
