It is indeed confusing and should be avoided if one has to configurwe
hardware ports that are not actually present or used on a specific
board.
If needed, provide sane defaults internally in the code.
But keep in mind that U-Boot requires that only used peripherals
should be initialized - we should not initisalize any unused ports.
Best regards,
