Ok. I think I got you now. Sorry I'm relatively new to OSS contributions, so please be patient with me...

If I remove that part of the if clause, then an error message would be printed in case "p->wait_pin_polarity == WAITPINPOLARITY_DEFAULT".
But this is a not an error case. WAITPINPOLARITY_DEFAULT is a valid value, is assigned right before the if clause as an init value(not extracted from DT),
and leads to not touching the GPMC_CONFIG register in gpmc_cs_program_settings().
So in gpmc_cs_program_settings() if:
    p->wait_pin_polarity != WAITPINPOLARITY_ACTIVE_HIGH -> Issue a write to the GPMC_CONFIG register
    p->wait_pin_polarity != WAITPINPOLARITY_ACTIVE_LOW  -> Issua a write to the GPMC_CONFIG register
    p->wait_pin_polarity != WAITPINPOLARITY_DEFAULT     -> Do not touch the GPMC_CONFIG register

We want to preserve the reset value of the GPMC_CONFIG register in case the DT does not use the "gpmc,wait-pin-polarity" property. Otherwise
we might break platforms which rely on these reset values.
