But as this header have specific usage, we will also confuse user
if it's not enabled as its target usage.

Yet you would enable unused resources.

This was already pointed out here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9670235/

I think, before we have an official repository of device tree
overlays (either directly in torvalds/linux or maintained by
linux-sunxi), we shouldn't rely on device tree overlay
functionality.
