I don't think so. I believe someone can use a 1-bit interface (bus-width = <1>),
and then some data pins will be free. This pinconfig is for 4-bit bus width
setup.

Though other SoCs (ex. H3, A83T) don't consider this possibility and make the
4-bit config the default pinctrl for mmc1. To add to the confusion, on these
SoCs 4-bit pinconf is the default, but 1bit bus-width is the (implicit) default.
This led to some confusion in the past.

So we can either:
- keep consistency with what is done elsewhere, and make this default, despite
  not being the only option,
- or perhaps I can rename this to mmc1_bus_width4_pins, or somesuch, to make it
  more explicit, and keep it non-default.

What do you think is better?

thank you and regards,
